When couples disagree on screen time limits for children

My partner and I set screen time rules for our kids but we keep undermining each other — I'll stick to the limits while they quietly let our 8-year-old have 'just ten more minutes' and now our daughter has learned to play us against each other. We both want what's best for her but we clearly have different ideas about what that actually looks like when it comes to screens.
