Every parent has had a moment of imperfection — and that is OK.
Dr. Shefali says, "As long as we as parents are trying our best, we need to let go of being perfect."
Broadway star @joshuahenryofficial has had quite a year, capped off with his fourth Tony Award nomination for his portrayal of Coalhouse Walker, Jr. in @lctheater ‘s acclaimed production of “Ragtime.”
But all of that success fades into the background when the 41-year-old feels the ache of missing his 5-year-old’s soccer game.
When Henry shared the moment, describing the “heavy price tag,” on Instagram, working parents from all professions rushed to comment. Backstage at 30 Rock, Henry describes the experience to TODAY’s @writewithrosie .
“I wanted to post that to let people know that they’re not alone,” he says of expressing that internal struggle on social media.

Bernie Sinclaire, 38, is a single mom of two boys, and she convinced her friend, Anabelle Gonzalez, 39, and her daughter to share a home, finances and most importantly ... the mental load.
"I have letters from me and my college roommate about our Barbie Dream House, living together with no men," Sinclaire, tells TODAY.com. "It's been a part of something that I wanted for a very long time."
Eventually, they decided to move in together and start their "mommune."
"It was God's timing," Gonzalez says.
Sinclaire and Gonzales agree that for now, however, their home is centered around their children — not romantic partners.
"Every child in our home regularly sees their father, and we are blessed because of that," explains Sinclaire. "Can I imagine wanting to introduce my children to an additional father figure? No. That's just not what I'm interested in doing."
