Here's my take, as a father I can relate to your vision. Coming home unhappy sucks, I did that for a few years and decided to do something else but back then I had less to worry about.
Does it have to be trades/car sales? Is there something else that would give you back your joy?
IMO, having that 9-5 Monday to Friday just makes thing easier. With your kids going to school the weekends are the times you're going to spend the most with them. For anything in sales, weekends are your money makers so if you want to do well there you're not going to be home on the weekends. I switched to a 9-5 just so I can spend more time with my family and I think that's one of the biggest factors. The second would be the extended benefits, dental work, short term disability etc all of that is huge. You never know when you'll need it but when you do everything is expensive.
I know it's hard to balance work, life and where you're happiest but as a father we all make sacrifices for the family.
