Bringing dd back early

So my ex has dd every other weekend for one night, and she comes back Sunday evening. This morning he rang at 8.30 and said she was crying and wanted to come back. It's a long drive and they don't spend much time together. But it was his attitude when he dropped her off I didn't like, he said he'd ignored her all the way back and was really off with her. I could tell he didn't want to even give her a kiss goodbye. She was chatting lots and trying to be funny which broke my heart a bit. She's only 4 and I don't want him treating her in that way. I think he could have distracted her somehow, luckily I wasn't busy and had no plans, but I didn't want her to be unhappy.

Although she is being difficult now and I have to deal with it. I can't just ring him up and say I'm bringing her back! It's called parenting, some days are crappy and I don't think he realised that!

You need to talk to him about this, maybe via text so it can't turn into a screaming match.
He can't just cut short the ridiculously little amount of time he has with her because she's being difficult. She's a child fgs.
