Dinah,
I really hate that "fine, you do it" solution husband's seem to use. I wouldn't agree to this, unless you really really need him to back off.
And kids do see both the good and bad in their parents. Make no doubt that your son already has his own list on both sides. The one thing you can do is sometimes say "daddy makes me mad sometimes when he does (such and so); I really wish he would (X). This lets your son know you see it and yet it doesn't disrespect your husband.
Parenting is hard, isn't it?
