Aibu to not text back? (Kids dad)

[SmartCar]

Me and ex broke up in December after yet another bout of cheating, yes I know silly me for forgiving the other times.

He is very controlling and abusive. I moved away from him due to new better job and him telling me he was moving over 400 miles away so thought all would be gravy. He has since changed his mind about moving.
I travel home regularly to see mum about every 3 weeks and he sees the kids then.

He texts me daily asking how the kids are (never cared when we was together)
If I text back that they are fine He says its not good enough. He wants a full report about everything they have done. If I text him about what they've done he makes a snarky comment about how I'm a shit parent.

So aibu to not text back every time he asks just say weekly?

"He says its not good enough. He wants a full report about everything they have done."
WTF? Tell him you're not his secretary and you will not be filing reports on them. Ignore his texts.

If the children are old enough I would go for letting them face time him daily, every other day or so.
If too little, just say fine, having fun or nothing.
He just wants to have something to beat you up with. He is a proper idiot!

Sorry should've said kids are 12 and she wants nothing to do with him has blocked him on her phone. And the boys are 2 and 4

You have NO obligation to do this and he's just using it as a way to control you.

I would only relay anything important to him if they were too young to speak to him themselves.

He's a dick.

Ignore him

Ignore him. If the 12yo wants to call him, fine, but you don't need to do anything.

He has a right to contact with his children, not with you. Ignore him. It's up to your daughter whether or not she responds to him. The smaller kids I would set a time for them to facetime him and once they lose interest, hang up. Wouldn't be texting daily.

You are supremely controlled. I would have texted back go fuck yourself. It all just sounds like yet another attempt to control you l think. A weekly update enough

Yes exactly! Seems its just another control method and I cannot win. Don't know what I'd be winning but hey ho.
I let 12 year old decide if and when she wants to talk to him. He rang her off a blocked number. she asked me if she should speak to him. I said its up to her. I'll stand by whatever she decides

Ignore - you are allowing yourself to be abused and subjugated
