Dd feels bad to want to go to school (2hrs) on Sunday because daddy wants to spend time with her. "I am already with him for 3 days, isn't that enough for him?"
What do you make of this?

Too little information here, but it would seem unhealthy that your daughter should be made to feel bad about going to school for the sake of spending time with her father.

Are you married, divorced, divided custody? How old is she?

She is 8, and yes, divorced with shared custody.
how on earth can I ask him to listen to his daughter's wishes rather than doing things for his own needs....
I just told her that if she wants she is welcome to sleep at home on motze shabbos and I will take her to school and he will pick her up after.

OP, what about talking to your ex and explaining that it’s a good thing she wants to go to school! It means she’s comfortable there and she has friends. And making her feel bad is placing an unnecessary burden on a child for a parent’s emotional well-being.

How is your communication with your ex? Is this something you can discuss with him without judgement or argument? If not, maybe you can discuss it with someone at DD's school and have them reach out to your ex to remind him that school attendance is important.
