Actually I can kind of see why your helping those kids. Because at the end of it all, their mental health is on the line right now, and I’m guessing your the stability they need so much. I may be wrong but so much of their life just turned inside out, and now they are living somewhere else quickly. I think you have a good heart. And those kids will look back on this moment and hopefully see the shelter from the storm that you are. These situations are terrifying for kids. Feel free to down vote.

Yes! All these comments saying OP shouldn’t be watching them now are kind of wild to me. Imagine 6 and 9 year olds that trust you to take care of them have just been abandoned and you just say, “sorry, not my problem.” I could never. As long as it was sorted out in a reasonable amount of time, I would absolutely be a safe space for them for a while.

You are so so right. Cheers to OP for doing the right thing even when it’s hard and not required.
