How much detail do I need to give exP?!

Hi all,

Can I have some perspective please? Agreed last week to minimal contact with exP because we have been arguing like crazy every time we speak. I feel like he is deliberately trying to wind me up and he feels the same about me. Prior to this I would get one text each day asking how DD is, and I would reply saying she was fine. Since we agreed minimal contact though, exP says that I am being too short with him ref DD, and has started sending texts with loads of questions about her in. How is she, what is she up to, what is she doing today, how was yesterday etc. Just for reference when we were together he didn't ask what we were doing or had done that day, and for the first two months after our split he didn't either. I kind of resent having to tell him all of our daily movements, but I suspect I'm being unfair. I feel like he walked away from our family unit and doesn't have the right to epic text messages every day but I really don't know if I'm just being a bitch (it's possible!)
Can I have some advice please?

I think someone mentioned a diary. Dd is cared for by family a couple of days a week, we have a day per page diary that follows her round. Just a quick summary of her day,

eg, breakfast, soft play, grumpy didn't eat lunch etc....

You could do something similar?

Even better set up an outlook style calendar on a new email account you can both access. You fill in your days, he fills in his days. You can both view calendar without having to contact each other. If he is genuine about dd he will jump at a record like that. If he is jerking your chain it will be obvious, and he will resent filling in his days.

I think the diary idea is a good one to be honest.
