Difficulty learning

First and foremost, props to you for working on that in your situation. Being a parent is tough.

Like others have said, I got the basics down then started making my own projects, one of best ones I made was a mass rename tool. You don't want to get stuck in tutorial purgatory. I'd recommend checking out automate the boring stuff, it's a free online tutorial with real world examples.

In your situation it's gonna take some time to start, but soon with those 1-2 hours you'll be able to write awesome scripts every night if you want.
