me and my father or my father and I ?

Me should have said "me likes donuts too!" Me too thinks that "methinks" actually is a word....in fact, me knows it is a legit word as me just confirmed it in me dictionary although me had a shrewd suspicion it was anyway.....me really, truly is silly.

Use "my father and I" in the nominative case (the subject, which in an English declarative sentence comes before the verb).

Use "my father and me" in the objective case (direct object, indirect object, and object of the preposition).

Examples:

---My father and I are planning a trip to New York.

---My professor wanted to talk to my father and me.

To test this out, delete the words "my father":

Correct: I am planning a trip to New York.

Wrong: Me is planning a trip to New York.

But

Correct: My professor wanted to talk to me.

Wrong: My professor wanted to talk to I.

I hope this helps.

Some British people say ''Us like them'' for ''We like them''
There is a tendency of replacing subject pronouns with object pronouns in (colloquial) English (unlike (colloquial) Brazilian Portuguese, where the opposite occures - subject pronouns are used where object pronouns used to be used)...

It is I. (formal)
It's me. (informal)

This is she (formal and informal)
This is her (informal)

My mother and I went (formal and informal)
Me and my mother went (informal)

We like you (formal and informal)
Us like you (regional informal)

[
missing with clitis is normal in Italian
where colloquial pronouns like LEI and LUI (that once
were used only for stressed objects) are now subjects (instead of EGLI, ELLA)...the same is true in Brazilian Portuguese...Clitics O/A are almost never used in speech, plain pronouns ELE/ELA are used:
''Eu amo ele '' (I love him [lit. I love he]); ''Mataram ela'' (She was killed [lit] They killed she'']

I call it a language change

Kendra, thanks for the update. These colloquialisms, needless to say, haven't made the Little, Brown Handbook.

"Use 'my father and I' in the nominative case"

Use "my father and I" simply because "Standard English" demands it and you'll avoid social put-downs.

"Me and my father" has been commonly used for centuries but, like "ain't" it's a Rodney Dangerfield construction (it "don't get no respect").

"To test this out, delete the words 'my father'"

This is an absurd exercise. That's because English speakers who say:

"me and my father went to New York"

don't say

"me went to New York"

Obviously, their particular usage of "me" in the subjective follows a specific grammatical pattern even if it is not one blessed by "Standard English."

"Some British people say ''Us like them' for 'We like them'''

Other than from small children, I have never in my life encountered this construction. Where have you heard it?

Me hates the thread.

Methinks me hates it too. :-(

''Other than from small children, I have never in my life encountered this construction. Where have you heard it? ''

many people on ukmix.org forums use these constructions British people officially ban
