My MIL is a nice woman but she has the habit of instructing me all the time. Like, she all the time tells me to wash hands when I go to the kitchen, when we are done with our meal, she wants me to clean the table right away. I am a laid back person. I do everything at my own pace. No matter how much I try to clam myself down, at times it becomes quite annoying. How do I tell her that I have a way of living and do not interfere in that?

there are only two ways to handle this - either tell her directly but nicely that you are a grown up and are set in your ways, just as she is in hers, and that this is how you like to do things and will continue. the second way is to ignore. make sure you are firm but polite and clear at the same time.
