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)

We chose to stay separately, but met up often and stayed over at his place for a few days (no more than 4 consecutive days) each week. This lasted almost through the first 2 years of our marriage, until we got our own place. This essentially pushed back our plans to have kids, but glad we did it this way.
