5yr old son and boyfriend in constant conflict

My boyfriend and son have developed a definite personality conflict. My son is a little spoiled and can be mouthy. But my boyfriend is always telling me that he is a spolied brat and needs to be constantly punished for every little thing he does. Of course I'm accused of always making excuses for my son's behavior. My son used to really like my boyfriend but has recently began distantcing himself from him. Any advice on how to handle this? Sometimes I feel like I have 2 kids instead of just one!!
