I'm that poster. It's possible in this respect they were nuts. We were allowed to eat off the dishes in the dining room, but we weren't allowed to touch anything in the kitchen or bring any food into the house unless it was a sealed package with the right certification on it. They had their kitchen set up with separate dairy and meat preparation areas and a third kitchen for Passover. I'm not saying everyone who keeps kosher is like this, but it would have been stressful to stay there with a toddler.

That's not unusual.  What sounded odd is that you stated

My kosher grandparents would not let us (non kosher people) touch any utensils, pots, food, etc. because we would contaminate it for them. [/quote]

Most people that keep kosher don't think that if non kashrut people touch the utensils, pots, food that it would be contaminated.  There are things that you could do that would contaminate them, but most people just ask you to stay out of the kitchen and take care of food preparation, serving, and cleaning up so that contamination is not an issue.  Your mere touching of their items would not render them non kosher.
