I feel this so much too, and I also have to commute 100+ miles a day just to get to and from my job.

Anything you do for your child or yourself could be a small business you operate out of your home.
You do not need to work for someone else in a "traditional job" to make money.
Do laundry? Start a laundry service in your neighborhood.
Bake bread? Start a micro bakery and take online orders.
Cook? Offer meal prep services or sell homemade, ready-to-eat dinners to busy neighbors.
Clean your home? Start a home organization or decluttering service, helping others tidy up their spaces.
Garden? Grow and sell herbs, veggies, or flowers locally, or offer small-scale landscaping.
Good with kids? Run a small in-home daycare or after-school tutoring service for neighborhood kids.
Pet lover? Start a pet-sitting or dog-walking service.
Good with tech? Offer basic support for setting up devices, troubleshooting, or teaching others how to use apps and software.
What are you good at? Not good at anything? Practice to learn how to do stuff and find what is fun for you. Make that how you make money.

The problem is finding paying customers!
Well first you need to figure out your offerings and branding and then market yourself. It's still a business and you got a hustle, but it would be all yours. You'd make up all the rules. It's worth the work.
