Anyone feels the same about inlaws living together?

I NEED SPACE! Used to like my MIL a lot, but after having kids I find her extremely annoying to the point where I didnt realise that the way I speak/ attitude to her changed, and even sighed at the thought when she comes back from work. Currently living in my In-laws place while my husband and I wait for our BTO and will only be ready in 4 years' time. Have 2kids (3yo, 5months) and I find my MIl to be annoying after she tried to interfere with almost everything from parenting, to food that I feed my child (eg: dont feed the kids rice dishes when sick, dk what kind of logic is that, passed down from her mum) and more. Like trying to convince me to sleep train my younger one earlier cuz he still wakes up to latch at night as he cosleeps with me(preciously tried to convince me to do it to my older boy). I refused to though it will make my life easier. Cant stand her, and I feel like im slowly becoming the bad daughter in law, who shows attitude. Im trying my very best to control be polite, but sometimes I unknowingly became sarcastic. Help!!! (article screenshot from Theasianparent)

I'm staying with my inlaws too. And my son just turned 8 mths old. This is my first son & their first grandson. All i can say is, to look on the bright side. I'm so thankful for my in-laws as they help out A LOT with my son. My MIL especially sacrificed a lot for him. She is a working mum too and help to fetch my son from the babysitter after her work as she works close to where we stay. When the baby cries non-stop, if she got up from her sleep she will take him to her room and try to get him to calm down and sleep. She helps to bathe & feed him as well. Not trying to make her sound like a maid lol but she does all this willingly and so I appreciate her so much and I can't imagine doing this on my own when my husband works shift at night. So little things or disagreement that i have, i have to just deal with it.
