Why are non-custodial mothers judged so harshly? Yet, a non-custodial father is accepted in society.

Imagine this situation:
OPTION 1: your child living in your country of residence with you, you being at work for most of the day and the child being with a childminder consequently. you would never really see your child as you'd be working, you have to work because you need to support yourself.
OPTION 2: your child living in her fathers country of residence with her, going to a prestigious private school, no childminders as her dad does not work as many hours and generally living a very good lifestyle.

Personally, i think option 1 is rather selfish.
 
I don't know why, but I totally agree. If anything the mother should be praised more for her willingness to do what's right for her child. On the other hand, you'd think that Dad could help out with $ so mom doesn't have to work so much.
 
Because women are suppose to always put the kids first. Is it fair, no. I have to admit that I do a double take when a woman tells me she does not have custody of her kids. When I think about it logically I applaud her for putting what's best for her children first.
