I want to be married and be a mother one day but I also dream to have a career and make my own income. If I have a kid is it really necessary for me to quit my job until the kids are 5? I’ll take 3 month maternity leave but I don’t wanna quit working.

i wouldn’t think so if you found a partner that understands and is willing to compromise, or you hire a baby sitter

Find a high quality day care (it will cost nearly what your mortgage will). Your kids will be better off for it. And while practically your entire salary will be spent on daycare, you will not have to start over career-wise.
