He is a jerk.If it's really just 8 weeks and I'm sure your kid likes gymnastic, he should've just done the 8 weeks and eat all the breakfast he wants when it's done.
My ex and I signed our son up for just 1 week of summer shool for which I paid.He didn't want to take him to school on last day-"daddy-son" day.WTH! I paid for that 1 week of summer school with 4th of July off and he takes last day off also?! Luckily my yelling helped and they showed up 30 minutes later as I was standing at school steps.

Sorry, I agree with others. I have a bad ex and would never dream of him taking our child to a weekend activity.

That's why I ask him before I shell out the cash!

Actually sweetie, the issue is you.

You cannot dictate to an ex what they must do.

Maybe you should stfu and not bother him on his day

I'm sorry, but it doesn't work like that sweetheart

Actually it does. Stop engaging. You're setting yourself up for drama. If you had never called, you never would have known about the gymnastics. But you did call and you gave him a chance to remind you that you don't control him. And now you're all pissed off. Stevie Wonder could have seen that one coming.

This.

I bet you dump all the activity days on his time

You haven't answered the question yet, OP. Did you make the decision to sign up for Saturday gymnastics together? Or did you inform DD's dad of gymnastics after the fact? Switch her to a weeknight class and exhale. Your contempt for your ex won't do anything positive for you and will only cause pain for DC. Grow up.

It does work like that in some relationships, though. Ideally they would have a good co-parenting relationship. But if not, there's a "parallel parenting" style where parents don't interfere with the other does when they've got the kids. Especially when the parents have so much animosity between them, they can't even be civil with one another.

Get over yourself, this is not about you. Your daughter deserves to have a relationship with her dad so stop trying to drive him away. I think it's sweet that he's taking her out to breakfast, who gives a crap is she's not on your controlled schedule.

She has a relationship with him. He takes her to school twice and week and picks her up and it's every other weekend starting on Friday that she stays with him. Gesh ppl I'm only venting because he just irks me with the decision he makes!
