I know when we were children we were always taught (and corrected) to say 'So&so and I' whenever speaking about ourselves along with someone else.
Unfortunately, it seems very few of us were taught when 'So&so and I' is actually incorrect.
I am here to help! Here we go!
Lets pretend this is a picture of me with Charlie Brown. The correct way to label it is 'Charlie Brown and me' simply because if Charlie wasn't in the picture it would be a picture of 'Me'. Labeling your pictures 'Hubby and I' is wrong - you wouldn't say it is a picture of 'I' would you? When you add another person you don't need to change what you call yourself.
This also applies when you are simply speaking about yourself and another person, there is no need to change 'me' to 'I' when you are saying something like how someone bought both of you a gift. The correct way to say it is, 'My mother bought a blender for hubby and me', not 'My mother bought a blender for hubby and I'. If your hubby wasn't a part of the equation you would say 'My mother bought a blender for me' and not change it to 'I'.
The simple rule is to say 'me' if you would when you are alone as well as when you are with someone else.
