Is he an only?

[Boohoo1star]

My DS (8) has an older half brother, (26) from his father's side. Said brother already has a child himself. So my child is an uncle already.....but is my son classed as an only child as they do not live with us. They come and stay some times during holidays, so we don't really see them a lot. When people ask is he an only child....do I respond Yes?

I'd say it depends!

I have four half siblings who have never wanted anything to do with me and are a lot older. Our father was also a prize shit.

Consequently I refer to myself as an only child, my allegiance is to my mum, whose only child I am.
