Hi Stressed2012 - Put simply, i think you have a right to be a father. No doubt you've already had conversations with your wife about your in-laws but i would state once and for all that despite the fact you appreciate your in laws being fantastic grandparents they have to accept that as a father, you also have an important role to play in your daughters life - especially at such a formative age. What is your wifes view on the matter? If you can't sit down together to talk to her parents and she's reluctant to have a quiet word with them by herself i fear the only option that leaves you with is going to the source itself. Tread exceptionally carefully if you choose to go down this route - explain to your wife beforehand what you are going to say to her parents so that they if they turn round and say something different to her at least she would have known the truth from you. Who knows, perhaps taking this sort of stand might encourage your wife a little more to better support you in laying down clearer boundaries with her parents. I hope ive been of some help. I also hope this situation resolves positively for you. All the best.
