My wife and I are living with my parents and my elder brother’s family in a villa, and after repeated conflicts with my family, she wants to move out and rent a place of our own.

We are both in our 30s and have a baby who is about to turn one. Since giving birth, my wife has quit her office job to stay home and care for our child. I work for a company and earn VND12 million (US$458) per month.
Although the current house accommodates many family members, each person has a separate room. My wife and I do not have to pay rent, and my parents cover all household expenses. They are retired civil servants and help look after our child.
In my view, living together inevitably leads to friction, but tensions usually ease after a few days as everyone moves on. My wife, however, says she feels unhappy because of repeated conflicts with my family and wants to take our child and rent a separate place. She has told me that if my income is insufficient to support us independently, she will wean our baby, enroll the child in daycare, and return to work.
I feel our child is still too young and vulnerable, and I would prefer that my wife continue caring for the baby at home for a few more years. My parents are also very devoted to their grandchild.
What should I do to persuade my wife to reconsider and accept our current living arrangement? How can I help her see that family disagreements should be addressed through communication and compromise rather than by moving out?
