AITA for not wanting my in-laws over every weekend to see my daughter?

My in-laws have always been very overbearing people. They definitely have an extremely codependent relationship with my husband and don't have much going on in their own lives. Our daughter is their first and only grandchild.

For whatever reason my daughter gets very worked up whenever they are around, she won't let me put her down and cries for at least 15 minutes every time they come over. She definitely has a little bit of stranger danger but nothing that she doesn't get over in minutes with most people. I think they were just to over whelming for her. The list goes on, but to give you an example, my mother in law would get right in her face and touch her while we're still walking into the house with her in the car seat.

Since she gets very upset now whenever they come over they think they need to see her more to help her get over that, except they've done a total 180 and don't interact with her at all because they think it'll make her cry. So now they expect to come visit every weekend, but don't interacting with her, and leave as soon as she does warm up to them.

They asked to see her again this weekend and I said no and my spouse things I'm being ridiculous. My spouse usually works on Saturday's, and I would like to spend our one day off together as a family. So, AITA for wanting to set some boundaries around how often our in-laws visit or am I being ridiculous?
