what should I do?

This is probably a rant or sharing post but I feel really stuck with. I'm living with my in-laws, and our BTO will be ready by 2022. Back story is, I was accused of stealing from my in-laws before and the item was found (thankfully!). My concern now is, I'm not sure of my in-laws are pushing me or they're just impatient but the young people around us (ie, hubby cousin, in-laws' boss's kids) have given birth one after another, and recently my mil started cooking herbal soup for me and even went to the temple to pray to guanyin. My in-laws are those super annoying and kaypo type of folks, they even want to comment on what I had for dinner (when I was cooking) and help themselves to my food when I'm done cooking like just a bite that kind, and all sort of comments will surface like need to add what seasoning blablabla. Sometimes will say unhealthy like come on, maybe buy for me ah next time. I dont know, it makes me feel really out of place and definitely get on my nerves a lot. My mil like to say let nature takes its course but yet she's cooking soup, and keep feeding me information about pregnancy and childbirth. It was an easy experience for her, not much pain, gave birth within 30mins when she arrived in the hospital but my mom and everyone else around me had a hard time, and the fact that everyone is different she dont get it. I told my husband, if I ever get pregnant tell your mom to leave me alone as much as she can, these actions really stresses me out. I dont want anyone to visit me if I ever gave birth, I dont want unnecessary comments from your mom teaching me what to do. I want to be left alone with the baby, I'm gonna lock our room door. I understand she's concerned or impatient but she had her time. It's my time when it's my turn so let me do my thing alone. She wouldn't like it if her mil did that to her as well right? (Which she told me before, she was lecturing my husband as a kid and his grandma cut in, she told my husband grandma off as well.) I told my parents all of it and they were mad, but remained cool unless my in-laws really push it. All they told me was as long as my husband takes my side, I'm all good. No point having good in-laws if husband is trash. But still, I cannot forget the unpleasantness of being accused and now you expect me to give you grandchildren?

I think it's quite common for in law problem. Mine was quite horrible. When me and my hub plan to get married my mil step in and stir s*** till the extend I told everyone call off the wedding. When my hub is around and when he's not is totally different. It was my hub that made me carry on the wedding after he spoke to my mil. But things didn't last long. Soon after wedding I found I'm pregnant the first thing came out from my pil was hope is a boy. End up is girl. My treatment was like s*** from then. Food they prepare for a pregnant lady was fried luncheon meat, onion egg and a veg. FYI they are quite rich who owes 2 private property one landed and one condo. My hub lost his job while I'm pregnant and only manage to find a new job after I give birth so my pil didn't pay a single cent to my check up and delivery. It was me and my family who paid. I was asked to go home to do confinement. After my baby came out my mil want to take my baby away from me. Everything was so drama, my hub back then believe in every s*** my mil told him. But things got better after my hub spoke to me. Cos I refuse to go back and stay with them. Now me and my hub don't stay tgt cos our house not here yet. But things got so much better. Me and my hub nearly divorce cos my pil. My suggestion to you don't stay with them. Now both you and your hub don't have issue but long term run definitely one day will have some. A word from my experience.
