You should ask your new boss if there is a little flexibility in the start time. Tell him if you are ten minutes late you are willing to work an extra ten minutes at the end. If not set an alarm 15 minutes before you have to leave the house and this is a signal to finish everything up and leave the house. Everything else will have to wait until you get home or you will have to spend a couple of minutes at work to complete your make up. There are lots of Womens Construction organizations if you want to be in construction but they want you early, in your coveralls, ready to work 15 minutes before the start of the work day so they can do the brief in the morning. The only time you really have any flexibility in start times is if you work for yourself.
I am glad that you have found so many things to love about yourself. Females in this world have so many more societal expectations on them then men. When you have children you will more then likely find that you look after your children and men babysit. There are more men that are actively involved with their children but for the most part women still do the majority of the unpaid work for the family. I know that anything that goes on in our family is my responsibility. DH has now been off for 6 weeks and I am still the one handling the grunt work. Good luck.
