Kids shower 2x/week in the winter 3x/week in the summer. My youngest had terrible eczema as a a baby, I took her to a pediatric derm who recommended reducing her baths/showers. It worked out well for her and cut our evening routine noticeably.

No holiday stress. I don't decorate for holidays or give everyone gifts. I know this won't be possible for every family, but that's what we have done from the beginning. We decorate if it is a kids activity.

Live very close to school/daycare/camps. We compromised on the size of our place and other factors to make life convenient for drop off/pick up early on. They walk by themselves now.

Very few scheduled activities. Preferably the activity will be afterschool and at school.

Keeping snacks on the low shelf. Kids get their own snacks after school because we both need to work at the time.

I had a boss once tell me, "your kids will be fine," in the kindest tone possible when I was stressing about parenting. I repeat that to myself often and tell others as well.
