I give up trying

I'm trying my best to co-parent with my two year old father.
I've given him space and he says I don't communicate enough so I communicate more but now I'm controlling.
I've had to write down her schedule for him yet he doesn't keep to it at all and today I find out when he puts her down for a nap he sits in with her.....
She has never had issues going sleep on her own never but she started crying when we started having full day which are from 8am to 5pm and on the days he has her she don't sleep. She wakes up crying many times yet he says she's fine with him then I remember a lady told me kids bent when the feel safe when there with the main parent.
So now not only has she completely stopped using her potty and asking to go toilet because he doesn't care to do it now she won't sleep and he has no clue. He showed me a picture of her dinner and it had more food on it than even I eat and he was complaining she only ate half and he blaming me for everything

Would you like it if someone dictated you on how to be a mother and telling you that you are doing it wrong?
Talk with him and agree on fundamental boundaries in upbringing together. No details, just fundamentals on safety etc. After this, you need to let him parent in his own way, and make his own mistakes. He will learn, but that doesn't mean he will do things the same way as you do. Different is okay, as long as it's safe.

@DMmeyourtits who said anything about telling him what to do?
Our daughter is suffering because of it. I had to write her schedule told by social to do it for Leia safety because he never asked questions about her

@MiraRoss you said it yourself, that he calls you controlling. You micromanage his parenting style. Let him do it his way, your daughter will adapt.

@DMmeyourtits he's not trying his best. The only thing he's doing his best at is messing his daughters life up to get at me
