Steve Corry greets his youngest son, Finn, 7, as he gets off the bus after school. Corry, who co-owns 555 and Petite Jacqueline with his wife, Michelle, has essentially been a stay-at-home dad since autumn 2016.
Corry helps his son Seamus, 10, with his homework. "There will come that time when it won't be cool to hang out with Dad anymore," Corry says.
Corry watches while Finn and Seamus eat a snack after school. The brothers sometimes hang out in their parents' restaurants, playing games while the staff offers them cookies, cheese and even oysters.
Last fall Corry made the switch from his restaurant to becoming a stay-at-home dad. "I tried to do both to some degree for a stretch," he said, "and that was virtually impossible."
Steve Corry helps Finn read his book after school. Three years running, Corry and Michelle have taken the boys out of school for six week so they could travel.
Corry takes a call after getting Finn and Seamus off the bus after school. This summer the family might take a trip to Bar Harbor, Moosehead Lake and other places in Maine they've never been.
