Ya especially at night. One night I can see the whole thing, the other night about half of it and sometimes only a quarter of it. What gives!?

The Moon does not change Shape. The sun Shines on the moon from different angles as the moon rotates around the Earth. you see the bit that the sun shines on. Get a pair of binoculars and look at the moon. You will be able to see all of it.

It doesn't. It's always round. It's just that the sun shines on it from different angles making it appear different shapes.

It doesn't change shape, what a strange idea! What you see does change as the moon is illuminated by the sun, and the earth blocks off part of the light from the sun, so you see only part of the moon, the part illuminated by the sun.
