How do you decide which pictures go up?

My husband and I recently bought a house, and it is the first house we’ve owned together… he lived with me in my already existing rental and had his stuff in storage for a while. Now we’ve got all our stuff together for the first time and I’m having trouble deciding which of his pictures to put up and which of mine… I don’t really want pictures of his siblings everywhere… I don’t have any pictures of my sister in frames or anything… really I’d rather just have pictures of OUR family… He and I and our daughter, and our parents, but I don’t want to come across as bitchy either… his dad lives with us too, so I can understand why his dad wants pictures of all his kids, but can’t we just relegate it to one part of the house? Or is that me being mean? I don’t want to come across as mean or anything. I mean, I just don’t have the kind of family they do. He has 5 siblings, and 6 step sibs. In my family it is just me and my sis… so… someone help me sort this mess out without me being an a** please! :)

Let him put up some pictures of his family, but reserve the prominent locations for pictures of your family.
