I hate to say it, but i don't think this relationship is going to work. First, there's your work schedules -- that's not good for communication. But even more important is your feelings for the little guy. It's not your fault ~ he's not yours ~ but if there isn't that special feeling for him, and it seems more like a chore to watch him, then it's only going to turn into a resentment of having to watch him, and all hell will break loose. Sooner or later, you will push your boyfriend into having a babysitter watch him, and that will just make things worse. I'm not saying you're BAD for this -- I'm just stating facts. You can't help the way you feel.
There isn't any way to "fix" this. At least I don't see any way. Unless your feelings change for this little guy, things are going to stay the same. And with the two of you on different shifts, you're only going to see each other on weekends ~ ~ bad for a relationship.
This doesn't seem to be going anywhere. You might have to make a difficult choice, i.e. moving out. I wish you the best of luck. God bless. Hugs, Lee
