Honestly?
I would just be very honest about how you feel and tell them you appreciate their input, but you are capable of parenting your child the way you see fit.
I've had that discussion myself before- my parent's think I'm too strict on my kids' and my in laws think I'm not strict enough.
Bottom line is that unless you are being negligent or abusive, parenting is a very touchy subject and people should be careful on giving advice (unless it's asked for).
I'd sit them down and tell them how you feel and ask them to respect your rights as the mom.
Sorry they are making you feel this way..
((((hugs)))
