Same reason so many of them hate their spouses. They didn't do it because they wanted to, they did it because it's what society told them to do. Somehow, life was supposed to work out for them between the job they hate, the spouse they hate, the house in a place they hate, and the children they planted the seeds of mutual resentment in. After all, it worked out alright for their parents (debatable) and their grandparents (that the early 1900's was practically alien never occurs to them)
