If you have family that uses guilt to get you to perform to their expectations and to control you. And their religion makes them think that you are screwing up your life and your kids lives. (They don't directly say anything that often.. but their ideals definetly come across strong... which leaves me in the 'sinner' and 'need help' spot). I don't want my kids around them too much.
How much contact until my children start getting affected???

The affect on your kids really depends on you and how you handle it all. As long as your family isn't making such remarks and "help" in front of them, just let it role. Read your kids if they are uncomfortable with them, then scale them back... if they adore them tho.. you should lay down some ground rules to their visits.

I don't think there's a scientific answer to that question. It may depend on the ages of your children and their personalities. I'd say, listen carefully to what is said and talk with your kids about what happened, even if it's subtle. Ask them what they think and help them understand your perspective. Including how you feel and what you aren't saying and why.

I am a military child and didn't see family very much. that is to say I was introduced to them, but outside that talked on the phone. I am fine, Sister is fine. Hell even our dog was fine. So no problems with exposure vs good kids.

If you teach your children wrong from right you should be able to trust them to make the decisions for them selves.
