It does get easier. The first few months I was on the IBS diet I felt like I was always behind, trying to read labels, cook new recipes, remember what I could and couldn't have, and just trying to figure out what to put on the menu. Once I got used to it, it got much easier and now it's second nature.
Here are a couple posts by someone who manages her IBS with little or no cooking. They might give you some ideas:

As for actually cooking, I agree with Casey - check out some crockpot recipes. I love Kree's CrockPot Chicken Stew, the CrockPot Bourbon Breast of Chicken, and the Crockpot Zesty Chicken and Rice Supper.
Other recipes we love are:
- Peking Chicken Burgers (made with ground turkey), serve with Crispy Potato Wedges
- Oven-Fried Honey Chicken, serve with Twice-Baked Sweet Potatoes which you can prepare ahead in a casserole dish and pop in the oven with the chicken
- JenniferRose's Shrimp Scampi with bread to sop up the sauce
- Crispy Balsamic Baked Chicken, serve with Persian Rice Pilaf or Basmati Rice with Onion and Ginger
- Heather's Simple Herb Baked Chicken Breasts, serve with the same
- ShellMarr's Turkey Meatloaf, serve with Skinny Mashed Potatoes (I think you could put the meatloaf together the night before and bake it when you get home and you could make the mashed potatoes beforehand and heat them up in a casserole dish while you cook the meatloaf)
- Heather's Crispy Pizza with Shredded Chicken, Scallions, and Smoky Sweet Barbecue Sauce (I use Pillsbury's Classic Pizza Crust)
Heather's Crispy Pizza is in EFI; all the other recipes are in the Recipe Index.
Last, but not least, I would suggest you try to find just one week's worth of recipes you and your family like and you can make easily. Once you have a solid week's worth and are comfortable making those, you can start trying new things.
HTH.
