Bored boyfriend expects me to entertain him

Hi, I'm 28 female. Boyfriend is 30
We have a 8 month old baby together. We do not live together at the moment, I have my own place with baby. And he still lives at his mother's house.

My boyfriend seems to always be in and out of jobs (one of the reasons we don't live together) recently he lost his job again due to his attitude in work.

He manages to find work rather quickly mind, but the few weeks that he is unemployed he seems to expect me to entertain him. He sits there repeating how "bored" he is over and over. He gets annoyed if I say I have plans. Or an appointment for baby etc. It's like he thinks because I no longer work due to having the baby thay I have all this free time that should be spent with him.

He will even ask "well can I take the baby to my mums house for a few hours" when it's a monday morning and we might have heath visitor or a sensory class that day.

I've made me own routine with the baby monday-fridays when he was at one point in work (and usually is in work) but he's starting to get annoyed now that I've even said no your not having the baby today as I'm doing this and that with her.

He would usually see the baby after work hours, so from 4pm-8pm

Then weekends he gets whatever hours he wants

Am I being a b
Or is he being inreasonable

OP, you sound so strong, sensible and thoughtful. Why are you still in a relationship with this loser? What for?!
