Help not wanting to stay with the in laws

Before marriage I don't have the intention to move in to stay with the laws, thought things will eventually change as days go by, but thats not the way, I don't do things, got said by MIL, I did the chores also said. Bring down the dried clothes keep aside where she usually put, so that I can have space to hang the washed clothes also not happy got complain. Anything got to do with my parents, like things that involve my parents side, and she don't like how they do. Also got mention. Really cannot stand her, seems like she trying to pick on me. Everytime said behind my back. Told my hubby, she had been saying thing on mean from the day I move in. He just keep num. Told him I want to get our own house just with him and baby...ya...now got a 10mths old baby. I really hope my child can have his own room. But he insist to stay with the parents and there is younger bro btw, even when we get bto. He still want to stay with them, saying is his responsibility as a elder son, but there is others way of taking care of them if we not staying together right?

For this, the only solution is to keep talking to your husband. Do not say mean things or complain about his family, let it be YOUR views. Not because of xxx you want to move out. Some guys really don’t like it as to them, they are in sandwiched position. Try soft approach. For your mil, fold her clothes when you bring down, whether anot she like it you have already done whatever you can. Don’t need to bother so much about your mil, focus on your baby. If you know she’s picking on you, even if you breathe is wrong. There is nothing you can do except doing your own part. That way even when she want to complain also got nothing to nitpick on. While doing this, speak to your husband on how you think moving out is better for LO and your family and that things and space are different now with a kid growing.
