This seems a trite petty to me. Naturally, the other parent is concerned about where children are when with other parent, particularly when one parent was couch surfing until recently. Sure, it's a jab and definitely a form of gate-keeping by the other parent. Sure, it pisses you off. However, you should focus your attention and ability on working on getting your agreement ironed out and filed in court so you can hopefully avoid petty little things such as this in the future. Spend time researching (on this forum for a start) all the excellent examples of well-thought-out parenting plans and separation agreements.
Think about the big picture and don't forget that the other parent is going to be around for a very long time. You'd be better off to try to foster a good relationship with the other parent so future IMPORTANT things (nice vacations to Disneyland, etc.) will go smoothly.
In the end, the kids suffer when parents bicker because parents spend too much time embroiled in gamesmanship instead of focusing on kids. The longer things drag out the more animosity there will be between the two of you. Resist the urge to play the blame-game or to get even with each other.
