I feel this, both my kids have asd and it is hard to find what they will eat. Not so bad now they are getting older, my daughter won’t even eat bread and my son when younger woild take anything I put in a sandwich out and just eat the bread and butter. I don’t really see the problem, as wouldn’t he still have marge on the sandwich if you was to make a ham or chease one? And like you said he eats everything else in his lunch box. Maybe have your husband prepare his lunch and see how he gets on fighting with your son over what to put in there if he thinks he can do better
Omg i read this as mandarin sandwiches… like mandarin oranges on bread

My granddaughter sneaks bites out of the butter stick, he’d really hate that😂 tell him how lucky he is-the hubs
My daughter is 11 and she still has butter and bread as a sandwich. I would rather give my child something that she will eat than her not eat at all.
I used to eat WHOLE sticks of butter
when I was a toddler…
(NOT margarine… that crap is
NOT food!)
He will be fine LOL
What’s the difference between this and a piece of toast?

As long as he eating what does it matter. I went through that with my kids and had to go through court case my youngest was under wait so I let him eat what ever he would eat
Feed your kid what they will eat. That’s what I’ve learned with my picky eater. There’s nothing wrong with butter and bread, my Mom would feed me that also. Usually with spaghetti or something but if that’s what he wants, give it to him! It’s better than junk food.

I ate butter bread (with sugar) when I was growing up. Still do ONCE IN A WHILE. Won’t hurt him …just put small amount. We had real butter and still do. Is better!!
Nobody should eat margarine, it’s so unhealthy. Not to mention you need to start at a young age teaching your children how to eat healthy .
It’s literally bread with butter! Does your husband eat bread/rolls with butter!?!? Betcha he does. Also betcha he eats weird things that your child doesn’t like. Ya swear he’s eating poop on bread!! Tell your hubby he needs to learn to pick his fights and just because he doesn’t like something doesn’t make it wrong, which bread and butter is not wrong by any means!!
Ask your husband what the difference is between his sandwich vs. toast🙄 If anything, swap it out for real butter opposed to margarine, doubt he will even notice the difference.

We used to sneak in the kitchen and eat mayonnaise sandwiches as kids! I don’t eat them now. Lol. It will all work out fine.

No different than toast really…it’s just not toasted 
kid is growing and really if he’s so concerned talk to the dr
I wouldn’t overload it with margarine but if he eats it,
My grown self still for through the toast and margarine/ butter stage. Usually lasts up to a week where I have it 3 times a day, my lil one will have it once a day and other foods.
Actually it’s quite normal I’d believe, my parents will have that with white bread and tea.

Dad has issues. If son would only eat that id see his point. But hes just leaving ham or cheese out of it. And not got all the sugars of jam.
Maybe if he realised all the stuff he do eat hed be bit more oh ok.
My son use have sugar sandwiches. It wasnt loads sugar just a pinch. Enough to know it was there. Less sugars than jam. And a happy kid.

let him eat it, no harm as he will likely change as he gets older. nothing wrong with this as long as he is eating other good foods.
That’s all my cousin ate as a toddler all the way until middle school
Kids go through weird phases when it comes to food. If he’s eating then I would leave it be. Give him other items that are nutritional and make sure he eats something good for dinner. I’d rather know my kid at least ate something than worrying if he’s in class hungry. My son goes through phases where all he wants is peanut butter toast and I catch flack for it from time to time from school staff but I tell them the same thing I just told you and they typically leave me alone

Our youngest daughter would eat ketchup on bread/ crackers for 18 months. Pediatrician said it was something she felt her body needed she ate fruits and nuts but breakfast, lunch, and dinner she had to have her ketchup on a bread item. She’s 22 now and in great health he’ll be fine.
Growing up we used to go nuts over mayo sandwiches the kids growing. As long as hes eating well otherwise, I see no problem. Wait til he becomes a teenager. Teenagers eat the weirdest things and everything in sight for that matter lol
When I was a kid, I would eat just bread. My Daddy would joke and call it a “wish sammich” lol. Anyways I’m 30 now and those bread sandwiches didn’t hurt me a bit.
As long as they’re eating. That’s all that matters. Tell Dad to do it, if he thinks he can do better. 
Just some info … margarine is only 1 ingredient shy of becoming plastic.
I switched to real butter many years ago when I learned this.

Give him whatever he wants to eat. Some parents have trouble getting their kids to eat different foods because their taste buds change as they get older. I used to eat mustard and bread when I was little. It’s not weird just different according to what your taste buds like at the time.
So he eats butter bread I do that it’s not the best but so yummy it’s like toast just not heating up the bread nothing wrong with it just avoid snack not very healthy of course but soooooo good I once put butter on like all the pieces of bread and like half a loaf of bread I had left and carried it to my friends and just ate it it was so good
It’s no different than toast and all that other bread & butter stuff. If he likes it, he likes it. It’s not like he’s only eating that; as you said he eats EVERYTHING else. I think your husband needs to chill out a little. If he can’t, have him deal with your child in the mornings.

Margaine is butter flavored lard. Lard was created to fatten turkeys but they wouldn’t eat it so they flavored it with butter taste and sell it to the public. Even fire ants won’t eat it!! So if I were you I’d change to good old butter, it’s much better, and safer for kids.

Haha, I’m laughing because my 4 year old grandson asks me for mustard sandwiches, and I make them on 100 percent whole wheat bread, I figure at least he’s eating two pieces of whole wheat bread !? I would switch from the margarine to real butter though if I were you and make sure it’s on some good bread. Now he’s been asking for ketchup sandwiches

Most kids go thru funny/picky eating phases…as long as he’s healthy, eating fruits & veggies I’m sure he’ll be ok 
. I remember my eldest only wanting chicken noodle soup for about 2wks solid. He was only 2…he asked for it every meal. Lol. Thank goodness he grew out of it
Can you swap out the margarine for Brummell and Brown? A touch healthier, anyway
If the doc says he’s healthy and growing well, who cares! My son is on a ridiculous PB&J kick 
he wants them for EVERY meal!!!

Kids go thru weird phases, this too will pass. But like others have said, I personally would switch to real butter.

Um, it’s a little strange… I mean, I wouldn’t feed my child straight up butter. Maybe make it with lunch meat lmao. I dunno. I wouldn’t do that though, just me.
My cousin when young used to literally eat margarine in scoops with her hand 
but now she’s an adult and is a vegan and eats completely different. It’s just a faze all kids have them
Sometimes you have to choose your battles, especially with kids. It’s not hurting him & it’s not all he eats. Next week it will be something different.
Hes eating…let him be. This will pass soon enough lol

thats nothing my oldest when lil would eat raw ht dogs granted she ate other things but she mainly wanted uncooked ht dogs my middle when lil use to eat sticks of butter my youngest just plain had n has still weird eating habits and they were all healthy i even talked to their Dr. about it he said as long as they eat other healthy things let them be they will out grow it n the girls did but my son still eats weird things n growing up we use to get butter sandwiches sometimes with a lil sugar sprinkled on them
If he is eating everything else in his lunch then nothing at all wrong with that. His body may be needing something in the margarine. The pediatrician told me 2 things parents can’t control. 1 what they are willing to swallow (eating) and 2 when and where they go potty. Your son will be fine. Your husband yelling and being mad about it is what will cause a problem. Best wishes

The only issue I see here is your husband starting to yell at you because of the food items your child is eating, that’s a horrible thing to do to your partner and your child (yelling and showing that’s how people show their displeasure) on top of potentially causing him to have issues with food which opens the door to several different kinds of eating disorders.
If the small snack means your child is eating everything else then there really isn’t an issue with it unless he has health issues where that specific food would cause upset.
People often butter their bread at restaurants… what’s the difference?

Toast it and then it’s just toast and no one will say anything 
I remember very frequently having bread and butter with our dinners. Give me a loaf of warm French bread and butter and it’ll be gone. Although I have switched to Kerry Gold butter now that I’m older. Kids go through weird stages. It’s not gonna kill him. If hubby doesn’t like you making them let your child make them himself and see if dad freaks out on him. In the larger picture it’s really nothing.

My kid wants plain noodles instead of spaghetti I beg her to put a little sauce in it just a bit bc it drives me crazy thinking about basically feeding her nothing when we have that for dinner but she eats fruits and other healthy stuff she even prefers what I call old ppl cereals 
and when they were toddlers and decided to boycott veggies their dr said they will get their vitamins the same from fruit just make sure to make up for the fiber they would normally get from veggies and not worry too much so I don’t. She eats plenty of other protein loves pb and plenty of fruits and yogurts and stuff to make up for all the plain noodles or Mac n cheese she eats bc she will also go on Mac n cheese kicks if it’s one meal and a phase let it pass
