MIL is obsessed with my child which is fine, but doesn’t bother with me. When we go to see my in-laws, mil within 5 minutes takes baby into another room. She never asks how I am or anything. Before I got pregnant we only saw each other around 3/4 times a year, and during my pregnancy she messaged me once asking me how I felt. So we have never been close and she doesn’t seem like she wants a relationship with me but loves my daughter. My FIL has said a few times when you stop breastfeeding we can have her so you guys can ‘have days out alone’, is it nasty that I don’t want to leave my daughter with people who don’t bother to get to know me?

Not unreasonable at all. You're not a vessel for her precious grandchild. If she can't be bothered with you, I am not sure why you should bother facilitating her relationship with your DD. It won't be good for DD to grow up seeing people disrespect you.
