Does your partner undermind you with your children?

Since having a child I have noticed more and more that in some relationships couples undermind each other with decisions about their children. Shouldn't things be joint? And if your partner is doing something shouldn't you keep quiet and discuss it when your child isn't around? It shouldn't be done in front of children in my opinion.
However, my husband has slowly began doing nothing but undermind me with you child. We have been trying to move him over from a bottle, he tried earlier today and gave up straight away. Then I offered to try, and our son took some from the bottle. I then tried later on and my husband kicked off when my son cried because he was wanting his bottle, because I said that we shouldn't simmply give into our son straight away as he will learn that he can get what he wants by crying.
Has anyone else had anything like this? I found it very annoying to undermind me infront of my son (aswell as my husband's parents). Surely it should be deal with between my husband and myself not everyone else.

Sometimes Kate can be a little less strict which makes me appear to be the mean one, this results in the kids wanting to be around her most of the time and can be very difficult for me to spend time with them but apart from that we share the same ideas. Sometimes she doesn't always agree with my methods as I don't with hers at times but we get past that.
William can be a little silly sometimes but you just have to keep pushing him, eventually he'll see it makes sense.
Either that or Harry will get bored of using baby bottles ;)

You need to talk to him, parenting is a responsibility so big that it would utterly be unfair to live to one parent-both the mother and the father must get involved!
