Too picky or settling?

My heart hurts this morning because I look at my husband and don’t see him through the eyes that I once did before. My husband is a nice man but doesn’t do what it takes to keep a family together (in my opinion). My issues with his family and my step son all ultimately stem from him and his lack of ability to take control of situations. My brother in law and his girlfriend live with us because we were all going through a financial situation that deemed it necessary to become housemates. After our last fight, I feel like I don’t belong in my home.

Does anyone else have issues connecting with their in laws? I’ve spoken a little about my mother in law in a previous blog but I had a rough encounter today with my brother in law and his girlfriend. My husband and I currently share our home with his brother and his brothers girlfriend. They mostly stay to themselves and so do we. But lately, my husband and I have noticed that our groceries seem to get eaten up quicker than we planned. I nagged my husband for a good week or so to talk to his brother and just establish some clarity on the grocery situation.

Just a little background, I was raised by two very hardworking parents. I didn’t grow up rich, but always had whatever I needed and a lot of what I wanted. They really pushed getting good grades in school and instilled a lot of morals in me and my siblings. Fast forward to years later, I’m 23 and my parents are still the first people I run to when I’m in need of advice. My husband, on the other hand, was raised by a single mom who lived off of the government her whole life, raised in poverty, and basically looked up to him to be the man of the house as he’s the oldest of his siblings.
