“”Me and my siblings have never really been in the spotlight...”
Correct English?
“Me has never really been in the spotlight....”
It’s similar to Obama’s statement: “President Bush has invited Michelle and I to the White House.”
You’d never say, “President Bush has invited I to the White House.”

That was the same way the nuns taught us to differentiate in grammar school.
Thank you!

Agree...as importantly, if not more so, you do not appropriately/correctly, mention your 'self' first. Articulated in right order, these errors, far less likely to be made.
This 'me and...' is a pet peeve of mine, which given how often we hear it, the peeve itself is rising well past 'peeve' levels.
Seeing this picture, and 'this' daughter, preparing for 'Harper's' intro yet; is jarring.
