what is too much?

call me crazy but sometimes either i get a sense that my bf seems ridiculously affectionate with his daughter. he almost treats her like she's 4 when she is 10. when we first started dating i discovered that alot of nights she would sleep with him. i thought this was appropriate for younger girls but maybe 10 is a little too old for that? there have been occassions where bf and i are cuddling and he asks her to come and cuddle with us too. she'll come over and lie on us and stroke her fathers hair. although part of me finds it sweet, there is another part of me that gets a little annoyed. this sounds totally retarded doesn't it.
also when we are walking out in public somewhere he sometimes carries her like she's a baby. i am absolutely not suggesting anything bad but the girl is getting older and i am not sure he knows how to handle it appropriately.

but from going from single life into a relationship with kids there are alot of feelings and thoughts that come up that i never thought existed.

is it wrong for me to feel this way? maybe i am jealous (which is very stupid)? what is appropriate for this age?

Maybe she is trying to maintain the closeness so that she does not feel as though you have overtaken his love. My kids try to overbear my husband and my 8 year old told me one day that they do it so that I do not forget to love them. Just a thought...
