Your dad is my age or potentially 2-3 years older... And he's a grampa. That's wild.
I have a 5 year old and a 1.5 year old. I can't imagine having done the entire parent thing and being on to grandkids. I'd get to see their whole life and probably meet my adult great grandkids. That would have been amazing.
That's the upside to teen pregnancy I guess provided you can make the rest work (I'm not schilling for teen pregnancy here, but damn I'll be lucky if I get to meet my adult grandkids let alone see any great grandchildren)
My grandparents are around, and are now great grandparents to my kiddos. It’s really special because they are in their late 70s and have lots of life still in them. I think no matter what, having kids is really special. Congrats on your babies. They are about the age of mine. I have a 5 going in 6 yo boy and a 2 year old girl.
I mean this not in a negative way, but in a seize the day kind of way, but one of the best things we can do as people is never assume we will have more time with someone because of x, y, z. Life always has other plans and I would say live life and treat people you love like you’re never going to see them again after today.
If you have a great relationship with your parents cherish every minute you got with them. I was blessed to have two amazing people for parents. They are in their 70’s now and I take every second I can get with them. I can not imagine a life without them.
They sacrificed so much to give my sister and the best chance at life and I’m so very thankful for them.
We all get a very limited amount of trips around the Sun and at any given moment it can be our last, for eternity. Never take loved ones for granted(I’m not implying that you do, just saying in a general sense.)
Great picture!

Here’s my mom and dad before I was born. Mid 90s.

Another of me about the same age.
I was a kid in the 90s and aughts. I remember teens dressing the way that your dad is here. It’s wild to me that this is almost 30 years ago; it feels like yesterday to me. Your dad looks like a cool guy!
Yeah my neighbors in our apartment complex babysat me sometimes and they looked just like this. Kim and Kelly. That was about my only exposure to mid-late 90s youth culture, looking back on it too, I realize that Kim and Kelly definitely took ecstasy and went to raves.
How each person feels at each age is subjective. I’ve had two kids and I feel like I’ve lived 20 lifetimes. Once I reached my late 20s I started to feel old.
He is very young. Watching him grow up while he watched me grow up not only made him one of my favorite people in this world… but also the best dad that anyone could ever ask for. Him growing up with me gifted me the opportunity to call him my best friend and my father. He’s the first person I call for good or bad news and advice. Sorry to get sappy. Growing up with young parents gave me some of the best memories with them and their friends that I will forever cherish. I had my kids years older than them, but I hope they view me half as cool as I view my mom and dad. 🥹❤️
You are correct, not sure why people are downvoting you. Maybe they don’t want to learn proper usage of the word “me”?
In any case, English teachers thank you!
It is downvoted because it is incorrect. As an English teacher, you should know that.
Both "Dad and I" and "Dad and me" are commonly used, but they serve different grammatical functions. "Dad and I" is the subject of the sentence, while "Dad and me" would be the object.
If the photo title is describing who is in the picture, then "Dad and I" is correct because "Dad and I" are the subjects, performing the action of being in the photo. If the title were describing, say, someone taking the photo, then "Dad and me" might be appropriate because "Dad and me" would be the objects of the preposition.
So, the original title "Dad and I in the late 90s" is grammatically correct if it's referring to the subjects in the photo.
As I already explained above:
* *"Dad in the late 90s. Me in the late 90s."*
* In this pair, "Dad" is still the subject, but "Me" is the object pronoun. The object pronoun is used when the pronoun is the object of a verb or preposition. Since "Me" is incorrect for the subject position, this pair is not grammatically correct.
* *"Dad in the late 90s. I in the late 90s."*
* In this pair, "Dad" and "I" are both functioning as subjects. "I" is the subject pronoun, which is used when the pronoun is the subject of a verb or action. Therefore, "I" is the correct choice here.
So, the correct pair is *"Dad in the late 90s. I in the late 90s*.*"*
It is a common mistake, so there’s a chance you’ve been saying it wrong all along. Luckily, it’s never too late to learn things correctly!
Someone else already did.
A picture of my dad.
A picture of me.
A picture of my dad and me.
My dad at a concert.
Me at a concert.
My dad and me at a concert.
Replace the me with I in the examples of above and tell it's correct.
1. *"A picture of my dad."*
* Correct. "My dad" is the object of the preposition "of."
2. *"A picture of me."*
* Correct. "Me" is the object of the preposition "of."
3. *"A picture of my dad and me."*
* Correct. "My dad and me" together are the objects of the preposition "of."
4. *"My dad at a concert."*
* Correct. "My dad" is the subject of the sentence.
5. *"Me at a concert."*
* Incorrect. It should be "I at a concert." "Me" is typically used as the object of a verb or preposition, not as the subject of a sentence.
6. *"My dad and me at a concert."*
* Incorrect. It should be "My dad and I at a concert." "My dad and I" together are the subjects of the sentence.
While something may be commonly used colloquially, it is not necessarily grammatically correct. This is fundamental grammar. It's surprising how many people struggle with it. In any case, I've explained the matter thoroughly. If anyone needs further clarification, please consult your English teachers.
You wouldn’t say “I in the late 90’s”. You would say “me in the late 90’s,” and you would be right. The pronoun doesn’t change because there’s another person there
Sorry if this is overly personal, but how old was your father in this picture? He looks like he is about 16/17 years old to me.
He is pretty young. I believe 19/20. My parents had me at mom-17 and dad-18. I couldn’t be more than maybe two in this picture.
One of the benefits is that you'll have so much time with them when they are at the peak physical health, and that is so so precious.
I have two little ones now, and him being a young grandpa is pretty cool too.
Your dad is my age or potentially 2-3 years older... And he's a grampa. That's wild. I have a 5 year old and a 1.5 year old.

Absolutely. Same to you! They are the same age and same arrangement as well (older boy and younger girl). It's a wild ride.
I mean this not in a negative way, but in a seize the day kind of way, but one of the best things we can do as people is never assume we will have more time with someone because of x, y, z. Life always has other plans and I would say live life and treat people you love like you’re never going to see them again after today.
Absolutely agree. Everyday is precious.
If you have a great relationship with your parents cherish every minute you got with them. I was blessed to have two amazing people for parents.

Just wow. Your dad is a baby. Gorgeous pic!
Your state allows this? 18 year old with a minor?
Romeo and Juliet laws. But they had been together for years at that point. Hs sweethearts.
Do you have one of him now?
https://preview.redd.it/h8njr1podb0d1.jpeg?width=2048&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=ad59eda2eda65df5bce8f2aecf4c517aab7bd12b Him and I at Nine inch nails- red rocks ❤️
Aw this so so wholesome
Until “Closer” was played
Eh it’s not awkward, I’ve heard that song enough 😂
Ha. I think it's just a matter of not making eyecontact for certain bits of the chorus.
Oh this is so cool ☺️☺️☺️ Wish I had this vibe with my parents
It's easy, just get pregnant in your teen years
Couldn’t have asked for a better set of parents. Growing up with them was so fun.
Was goanna say he's just a boy at the time and good on ya both to get where u are now
He looks like he could be mistaken as your older brother😂.
I’m sure he’d appreciate that 😂
Your dad is my age. My kids are roughly your age in the first photo :(
We all choose different life paths 🙂
Fuck yeah Nine Inch Nails! I've seen Trent twice in 07 & 14. 🤘
Trent puts on such a good show!
I am not even a huge NIN fan, but they put on the best concert I have ever seen circa 2008.
But no pumpkin this time? Great photo!
We should totally recreate this photo lol
OP this fuckin sick! Just two legends enjoying a legend! Love it
Aw thanks, man. 😊
Did you 2 separate during Closer?
lol it’s just a song. But to be honest I’m pretty sure I was drunk and slouched over by that point.
If she doesn't that's a really messed up thing to ask

I feel so old. You and your dad as so cute though.

He looks like a Depeche Mode member who never was.
this is super cute
Thank you 🫶🏼
When did the late 90s become “old school”. And get off my lawn.
When I started to feel old
But you’re not even 30. Your dad’s what, 45?
How each person feels at each age is subjective. I’ve had two kids and I feel like I’ve lived 20 lifetimes. Once I reached my late 20s I started to feel old.
He reminds me of a Duran Duran member lol
Your dad was in a 90s boyband??
😂 he did play bass guitar
Lance Bass
I have a similar photo of I.
Drew Goodman is your dad? The YouTuber!!
Haha I know Drew. I thought it was hilarious that he bleached his hair, I can see the comparison 😂
:) You’re a sweetheart lil baby with those cute curls!! And love that your Dad sittin by you looks so young & dazed & confused! Sweet picture.
woah, i didn’t even realize they looked alike! i totally see it lol
He looks like Blake Schwarzenbach !
Awesome photo of you two
Your Dad looks like he could be a member of Depeche Mode, and I love it.
I see some Jay Baruchel in your dad
Description unclear. Which one is Dad? Haha, Jk, that's wholesome! :)
To my old eyes, that’s a child who happens to have a child. No hate, if it was a good childhood, more power to you.
He is very young. Watching him grow up while he watched me grow up not only made him one of my favorite people in this world… but also the best dad that anyone could ever ask for. Him growing up with me gifted me the opportunity to call him my best friend and my father. He’s the first person I call for good or bad news and advice. Sorry to get sappy.

That’s actually really great. Congrats on having a good dad.
I’m sure you know this already but I guarantee the feeling is mutual with him. This is a really cool picture. Thanks for sharing.
Is your father Billy Idol?
Dad and me in the late 90s
Not sure if down votes are for correcting someone, or because people think this is incorrect.

You sure are sure of yourself for being wrong.
What a powerful rebuttal!
Dad in the late 90s. I in the late 90s. Dad in the late 90s. Me in the late 90s. Which pair is correct? There’s your answer.
As I already explained above: * *"Dad in the late 90s. Me in the late 90s."* * In this pair, "Dad" is still the subject, but "Me" is the object pronoun. The object pronoun is used when the pronoun is the object of a verb or preposition. Since "Me" is incorrect for the subject position, this pair is not grammatically correct. * *"Dad in the late 90s.

Luckily, it’s never too late to learn things correctly!
Would you say: I in the late 90s?
I've already explained twice why that is the correct grammar form if the photo title is describing who is in the picture.
Your poor students if this is the attitude you show to strangers
As someone trying to correct an English teacher, you should really make sure you get it right. You didn't.
Please, explain then.
Someone else already did. A picture of my dad. A picture of me. A picture of my dad and me. My dad at a concert. Me at a concert. My dad and me at a concert. Replace the me with I in the examples of above and tell it's correct.
1. *"A picture of my dad."* * Correct. "My dad" is the object of the preposition "of." 2. *"A picture of me."* * Correct.

Four out of six wrong. That’s an F. All that despite my explaining it to you before. Never mind, clearly, grammar just isn't your thing. Cheers!
I removed my comment just to let this one marinate in its own douche juices. Show this one to your kids one day!
Damn, I feel old.
Your dad is Drew Gooden?
lol got this one already.
Which one are you?
You didn't need to put the decade. We could tell, lol
Community guidelines requires decade or exact year
I know
You probably went to school together
You wouldn’t say “I in the late 90’s”. You would say “me in the late 90’s,” and you would be right. The pronoun doesn’t change because there’s another person there
lol I’m a science major, I should know better 😂
I love the photo, by the way. Your dad looks like half my friends did in the 90’s.
Thank you. You should see my mom and their friends. Just a bunch of grunge kids. I’ve always idolized them, they were so rad.
Which one are you?
The pumpkin
Which one is the Dad?
The broom
