Bootstrap 3 col-xs and col-md Is not Responding

Question

I am having issues with my Col-xs and my col-md.

So before I continue ill explain my use. Im Trying to create a user Form where they can enter their details and then enter a quantity for a piece of furniture. The furniture section is within a Tab-Content as there are separate sections within a house.

So id like for col-xs to span 2 columns, a column for label and one for the Quantity input, And then ill slowly increase by 2 columns, so sm will display, label, quantity, label quantity, and so on.

The col-sm and col-lg work Perfectly, but the col-xs and the col-md are not working, Its almost as if they are being skiped. Please help.

This is my code...

I am very new to Bootstrap and Web layout, but criticism is welcome.

ps. Please Excuse the Layout issues i cannot figure out why the Code insert is doing this

You were very close in your initial layout. Only issue I saw was you duplicated a couple col-md-* classes on some of your <div> elements:

<div class="form-group col-xs-6 col-sm-4 col-md-2col-md-3 col-lg-2"><label>4/S Couch</label></div>

Notice you have col-md-2col-md-3 in there? That's not going to work. Also, on some of your elements, your <label>'s parent has col-md-2 and the <input>'s parent has col-md-2, while others have col-md-3 and col-md-1. That's not uniform and causes issues in alignment. I assumed that col-md-3 and col-md-1 was correct (if I'm wrong you can always change it to col-md-2 and col-md-2) and edited your layout to the following:

<div class="container">                   

  <h3>Houseold Inventory</h3>

  <div class="tabbable">
    <ul class="nav nav-tabs">
      <li class="active"><a href="#lounge" data-toggle="tab">Lounge</a></li>
      <li><a href="#dinning" data-toggle="tab">Dinning Room</a></li>
      <li><a href="#householdKitchen" data-toggle="tab">Kitchen</a></li>
      <li><a href="#bed" data-toggle="tab">Bed Room</a></li>
      <li><a href="#study" data-toggle="tab">Study</a></li>
      <li><a href="#householdGarden" data-toggle="tab">Garden</a></li>
