When one parent becomes the enforcer while the other stays neutral

My teenage son and I keep having the same fight about his grades and screen time, and my wife stays out of it because she says we need to work it out ourselves, but that leaves me feeling like I'm the bad guy while she gets to be the fun parent. None of us are happy with how this is working.
