I always believe that you should listen to what your gut tells you. This is obviously bothering you quite a bit, so you need to do something about it. I'm not sure what you have told these people in regards to how your DD needs to be parented, but I would suggest having a very nice, yet firm conversation with them telling them what YOU need from them...basically what you need them NOT to do. Explain very clearly what is and is not acceptable to you and the only reason you are laying these rules down is to help your daughter become a very well adjusted, happy and attached child. If they can't understand that, then I think you need to not be around them until they realize that YOUR way is the only way it's going to be. It also helps I think to let them know that this isn't forever, just until you feel DD is fully attached to you.

My family is so in love with Viktor, and I think it is just pure nature to want to give children love, food and protection. When I feel that they may be giving him too much attention and it may be too much for him, I simply remove ourselves for a little while and tell them that we need a little time to ourselves. Luckily I have a really great family who understands and totally respects that I am the parent.
