I've been a stay at home dad for almost 3 years now, I have a 3 yr old and 1yr old. I've been working nights in kitchens to keep a roof over our head while wifey works days to keep the bills paid and children fed. I'm facing burn out and extremely long days. I've been looking for gigs that I can work from home but competition is tough and positions are limited. What other industries/jobs are there to find work that I'm missing in my searches?I am available only when she is not at her 9-5 weekday career. I have 10 years experience in construction, and even more in food service. I have a bachelor's degree in fine art. I was always a good student from grade school to high school and in college. Always on honor roll often with high honors. I feel like I've done everything right in life but we are still drowning in student loan debt and bills. I have not been able to afford a vehicle since my truck's engine gave out unexpectedly almost 5 years ago. Please any advice will help thank you.

Edit: Again I am looking for career options with evening/weekend availability or something I can do from home while I watch the children.

Basically the title. Is it crazy to start a business right now? Food prices are higher than ever. Competition is stiff. But my favorite past employers are those that needed a one man show. I've been on lines with 2, 4, 8, and I've seen a lot done right, and a lot done wrong. But no matter where I am I usually work my way up to a lead/supervisor type position within a year or so and then ending up doing half the managers job without manager compensation. So here I am thinking why not just do the whole operation? I have a friend that does an under the table "plates" operation and makes decent side money. He has told me multiple times I should be doing the same. I think I would rather do it by the books but I also realize there is a lot more financial risk involved.
