"I think ,and don't take this the wrong way,but he obviously loves her as much as you do and he WILL learn all about her routines in his own time.It has to be hard for him to only have her that 1 night a week and perhaps he is feeling resentment about that and that's why he won't listen to what advice you have for him?It must be hard for you to let her go away for the night when things are as bad as they are between you and your ex...have you considered going to counselling for the both of you,to mediate your situation a bit better because he does need to listen to you when it's in regard to yor childs well-being.Or if he won't do that,maybe write him a letter about how you feel about this whole arrangement,what your routine is with your daughter,and pop it into her overnight bag for him to find once he is at home and not on the defensive.I find I can get out a lot more of my feelings on paper than verbally because I can get my whole side out without becoming emotional,being interrupted and losing sight if what the problem was. I hope you get a good outcome."
