When your father dies, do you become a bastard? or only kids that are born without a father can be bastards?

I think that men who refuse to parent their child are the bastards.

Nobody gets born without a 'father' of some description - even if the father is only sperm in a test tube.

In the past, a bastard was a child born to parents who weren't married to each other. Today that's no longer very significant, and the term is mostly used to cause emotional pain or to describe someone who does bad things to others.

The death of a parent (or usually both parents) makes someone an orphan, not a bastard. Unless they do bad things to others.

All children have fathers (except for clones). However, some mothers don't have husbands, and THEIR children are bastards. It used to be a big deal in the Middle Ages. Bastards were not allowed to inherit unless legally adopted by their fathers, and bastards were not allowed to enter a church, therefore they could not marry legally.

Kids born out of wedlock are bastards.

Nope.
A bastard is a person born of parents not married to each other, illegitimate child.

Once your father is part of your life then he is always with you even after death and you will never be a bastard

You become an orphan not a bastard.

there are only 2 ways that I know of to be a bastard: if you're mom doesn't know who your dad is OR by being really disrespectful to others

No child is a bastard only negligent adults. Children are all gifts.

no. and no
