My Wife Miscarried
We found out tonight that my wife miscarried. We were so excited about having another little one.
Because we are older, we knew it was a risky pregnancy. But it was so exciting to think we would have another one around the house. But all of that excitement turned to disappointment and tears today.
Just keep us in your thoughts.

April Fool’s.
Wow I really didn’t even think that was funny.
That’s low Dan!
It’s alright. I couldn’t care less anyway.
APRIL FOOLS!!
Whew, I’m glad. I was afraid the kid might be mine.
Prick move, old man. Prick move.
Grrr…
Premature e-joke-ulation is a sign of aging you know
That’s some dick shit… it’s not even April first here yet…
We had a daughter 7 months ago, she’s beautiful.
Well, it’s 1 April somewhere in the world right now…
You’ve had some interesting, satirical, and funny posts.
This one? I can’t respect this one at all. This is a shithead stunt.
Think about the readers who HAVE miscarried, perhaps even recently, who might see this and come to offer you support… to find out it’s a fucking joke? What’s that going to do to them, who are truly suffering?
You fucknut.
That wasn’t so nice. -___-
lame
That’s soooo not cool.
I keep forgetting about April Fool’s Day for some reason.
A few months ago I miscarried.
pretty horrible april fool’s joke. imagine if it really happened..
It’s not even April 1st yet.
Not really funny, this one.
ಠ_ಠ
I think you’re a pretty nice guy. But this wasn’t even funny. I’ve lost a pregnancy and know many women who have as well. It’s pretty cold to make a joke like this.
I’m used to the fact that you like to cause controversy, but this is stooping way too low. Not funny at all.
That is a really scumbag thing. You oughta be ashamed of yourself Dan. The anniversary of my miscarriage is coming up and here I was going to tell you if your wife wanted to talk to someone I was here. You’re rotten.
@Cestovatelka - You always see the sunny side of things.
wow. raking in the good karma.
@nyclegodesi24 - Nah, that’s just my litre of wine talking right now.
I was curious for a second, wondering how you were gonna turn this into something offensive. I thought “aw it must be true…Oh wait, first comment. good game”
That really wasn’t funny.
I hereby apologize to my subs/friends for recommending this. After all these years I really should know better.
Miscarriages = always funny. Maybe not as funny as surgical abortions but hilarious none the less.
don’t like this joke. =(
For those of us who have miscarried.. Its not something to joke about. I actually felt really sad for you until seeing it was a joke. Not nice at all..
We have miscarried three times. I ran across your blog at random. I went to comment just to give you some advice because I know how bad it hurts. You should be ashamed.
@lovelybish - u did?
This is disgustingly insensitive.
oh damn it! You got me.
Make everyone hate you, only so they can spam your blog with comments and keep you on the frontpage forever, oh Dan.
That was low, evil, devious, and unexpected. As an April Fool’s Joke should be. Granted, it was in very bitter taste, but the execution, and delivery were impressive.
happy april fools~!!!
Dick move!
This one ranks right there with the Jstickman copycat post you did thinking he did not really die but he really had.I seriously hope this was someone hijacking your xanga.
@lucylwrites - You are forgiven!
Stuff like this is one of the reasons why my wife said forget xanga and anther reason why she thinks I’m stupid for wasting my time messing with it.I think she is right,at least about me anyway
@TheTheologiansCafe - You dick
I was feeling really bad for you. If I were your wife, I’d punch you so hard in the junk. It’s not even the 1st yet.
Bad!!
You ass…. That was not funny…
Am I the only one who’s happy this post isn’t for real? Sometimes I just don’t understand people
Dan.. that was uncool man.. you are quite the ass without a jack. just sayin’.
I am so sorry to hear that; i wasn’t going to reply to any of your posts anymore since i found you pretty insensitive in the past. But this time you are in my prayers. I also hope your wife recovers soon.
you suck. that is not even funny. i followed the damn link against my better judgment because i thought maybe this time you were human. i won’t make that mistake again.
@locomotiv - it was an april foolsday joke :-/
I knew it was a joke. The nature of this particular post is unlike the usual nature of your posts.
I was just going to share how I went through a miscarriage and offer you my sympathies and advice for how to handle it. That was super lame.
@BI0chemical_EQUACI0N - yeah. remember that time I was in the bathroom for a really long time? I won’t poopin…
Get over it, people.
wow. just wow. you are sick. this is officially the last time i ever click on your “top blog” posts.
@under_the_carpet - Silly me . That will teach me to read better in the future i hope. thank you….
Smooth move, Exlax!
the butthurt comments are funnier than the joke itself.
Completely and totally wrong! Nuff said…
Pretty low. What the hell? I get that you tend to like be a “shocker” of post writing here..& I am sure you were aware of the negative feedback you are going to get from this. Which is why I am asking you
why?
What the fuck prompted you to think this would be a funny April Fools joke? A joke is something people would find funny, not just yourself. Especially, since you are posting on a public site. This is a sick joke. Not cool, funny. cute nothing. Just sick & twisted. I don’t understand why there are people like you out there that would actually find this to be funny.
Losing a child is not something to ever poke fun at. You should really take this down…
You’re getting worse and worse man!
That is am awful thing to do Dan Completely out of line…our family is going through the sadness of a lost child and you are just a awful man right now
@syringesofglitter_x - it’s typical for dan to joke at others’ expense like clubbing seals and a taiwanese man getting his arm chomped off by a crocodile, yet when dan’s son shot himself with a bb gun (hahahahaha) he was completely butthurt.
*hug*
I am sorry to hear that. At the end of the day, God knows what he is doing. Maybe the time just wasnt quite right. (patience is a virture)
I will say a prayer for you, your wife and your child.
*hug*
Dude. I lol’d.
Haha, I thought this was April Fools
FUUUCCCKKKK! Haha. You get 0 eProps this time Danny boy.
omg you really like to feel the hate burning your cheeks lol
April Fools jokes are supposed to be like this.
There’s nothing better than tragedy as a joke. Well played.
People are way too sensitive. Don’t you know Dan loves stirring things up? Get over it.
I rec’d this…then saw the april fools thing..fail dan…fail -___-
@soap_box - I am so sorry this has happened to you.
Don’t feel too bad Dan – we all screw up some times…
http://chatroulettegifs.com/suicide_hanging1.gif
i was going to offer my condolences. came here on a rec’d comment and wondered why everyone was taking it as a joke. then i came to the first page.
@AgainstTheWind1 – Well he is the boy who cried wolf. Who knows the wolf might eat him one day.
I think this is the first time all the commenters have the same opinion on your post
Man. I thought your other blogs were attention seeking. This though……….
this is my least favorite day of the year
Damn you got me -_-
I’ve had 4 miscarriages so I can tell you that the disappointment and heartbreak, not to mention the physical pain, is not funny. Shame on you.
@bloggicus_maximus - I shall do no such thing! Dan is a complete rat bastard! I can’t believe he would do something like this!
…Now how am I gonna do an April Fool’s blog post that tops this?
@Rob_of_the_Sky - You can’t.
Might wanna timestamp this bad boy so that it fits in the right date
@bloggicus_maximus - Yeah, doesn’t look like I can. Oh well. Better luck next year.
Yeah, I’ve been through a miscarriage before. I really don’t see it as a joking matter. I’m not offended but I’m definitely disappointed in this “joke.”
It’s much funnier to joke that you ARE pregnant & then call it April Fool’s.
a new LOW dan.
nobody would have bought that b/c there is no way you are still fertile, dan. i’m sorry but it’s true. *huggz*
I know it was a mind fuck of some sort, how come I didn’t think of April fools…oh yeah, it’s not April fools day in California yet. Not my part of California anyway.
People are mad because they fell for it. Well played, sir.
I like how all these people are saying you are an ass and this isn’t funny but leave the e-prop loving anyways.
Predictable. Boring. Not funny.
At first I was concern, and knew what day it was.
I did not fall for it, as I had a feeling an April Fool joke was going be done by a Xangan.
Not a good April Fool joke.
@misuriver - It’s the first where I live… almost bedtime actually!
“I have known for a long time that you are not a good person, but I will still respond to your next question because I love to talk about myself.” – everyone
haha! Thanks for the reminder!!
I don’t care if you are joking or not. So, I am taking this the wrong way. There is a reason why I am hardly on here. You are lucky, you GET to have children, when women like myself STRUGGLE! We get to take clomid, and be bitchy and it causes strife in our marriages/relationships. Not funny at all Dan.
Sorry Brother. You have my condolences.
@locomotiv - babe, it was an April Fool’s joke ^_^
@syringesofglitter_x - I don’t think pranks suppose to be funny babe, I’ve seen people pissed the f*** up about them not laugh in rejoice or at least not our pranking maybe later but not at the moment
@tendollar4ways - sorry bro, it was an april fool’s joke
I agree with 2 people 1) we are just mad because we fell for it and 2) We should be glad it was a joke and honestly that is true I’d find it too awkward to say oh *geez* I am really really sorry and I wouldn’t know how the family would feel so instead of being blue I’d say yey! It’s not true!
I will be praying for you. We went through that many years ago. It is heartbreaking. Btw, I had my last 2 at 42 and 46. Both are healthy.
Oops, just read comments. Forgot it was April 1.
Mean!
High comedy. Slap yourself.
@TheTheologiansCafe - That’s sick…That’s really sick!!!
that’s a pretty horrible april fools!
I’ve considered trolling myself but xanga is such easy fodder.
@Somefishytales - xanga is a waste of time indeed. i will pull back from my involvement here and eventually close. its hard bc there are some geniune people on here, believe it or not.
You’re very naughty. I suppose I shouldn’t tell everyone what we did last night or the fact that you like spankings? Shhhh….. I’ll not say a word. (especially to your wife)
April Fools! (you know you couldn’t handle me)
I miscarried last alittle while ago & I completely understand your pain right now. I am so sorry for your loss. My thoughts & prayers are with you.
God murdered your semen spawn because you were thinking of Save the Boobs when it was conceived. Had it been born, a headless cluster of boobs with a penis would have emerged from your wife’s historic crevasse.
That might be funny, if I haven’t had two miscarriages already and am currently pregnant. I’m not sure why the death of a child at any age should be funny.
I am sorry for you.
Wow…intense April Fools!
I’ll keep you in our thoughts
Of course people are going to fall for it when it was posted BEFORE April Fool’s. That’s my only beef with this post.
Wow. Believe if it actually happened. Karma is a bitch don’t forget that… Oh and by the way, have you thought about that maybe someone out there is reading this entry with tears in the eyes, because his wife/she miscarried? And they couldn’t just yell “jooooke”. Hope you learn from it, that was a pretty stupid move..
@lucylwrites - It’s why I keep leaving and coming back.Most likely I’ll not ever shut this one down,even if it has to stay in limbo for a while.LOLI have some silly posts I still wanna do though
It would be ironic if she really does miscarry.
Oh, Dan. People are so sensitive. I laughed.
Are you guys letting The Onion write your posts?? You should be ashamed of yourself. Many families have endured miscarriages, they don’t see losing their little loved one as a joke.
Poor taste.
Definitely in poor taste – didn’t you post this yesterday, before it was April Fool’s?
Damn. That’s not funny.
Wow. Really? fuckin douche.
This is interesting – to observe you assisting in Xanga’s ongoing demise by driving others with certain deep, heartfelt sensitivities away.
Not funny….and I’m surprised that you thought it would be.
@AgainstTheWind1 - i pee in ur face! u should have been a miscarie dick head
WELL WE NOW KNOW YOU ARE A TRUE FOOL!
I don’t find this funny at all. A miscarriage is truly devastating, and never something to joke about.
Almost extended my condolences.
Well played
That…was low.
80 is too old to be making babies
Don’t like jokes like this at all, but I’m glad for you and your wife that this isn’t true. I’ve had a miscarriage…the memory still stings.
Figured I’d at least come by and apologize for the language I used.
Too bad your mom didn’t miscarry. I’m not joking.
I feel like Dan always tries making a controversial post with the intent of making us look at something in a new light. So the question here is, “How far is too far for an April Fool’s Day Joke?”
I know you love being controversial but really not funny. Especially for those of us who have buried a child.
Bad Dan! Bad!
I thought this was an April Fools joke the minute I saw it. As many as I’ve pulled over the years, my radar for this sort of thing automatically goes on sometime around 11.30 PM on March 31, and stays on until at least 12.15 AM April 2.
I think you nailed this one quite well. You kept it simple, and sucked in a substantial number of your readers — Which is probably why so many people are pissed off at you at the moment.
That is not a joke. I just lost a baby and was going to refer you to the grief counseling resources I’ve been using. I can’t believe you would think this was funny.
If I had a girlfriend, and she miscarried and knew that I was the dad I will be pretty angry with this joke. I know someone who I went to school with she miscarried her first baby when she was about 26, she tried again for a baby with his partner/husband and now she is a mum 28 nearly 29.
No wonder God hates Christians
I’ve had four miscarriages in my life… And I’ll be honest.
I lol’d some.
It was a joke, a dirty dirty one but still a joke.
Nothing suprises me when you post but this is some sick shit.
While I do appreciate a good joke, that is not funny. It’s a very painful comment. My husband and I tried for 10 years to get pregnant. Went through IVF, IUIs, the works. I finally conceived naturally only to learn a week later that I was miscarrying. It’s been 5 years since that and we haven’t been successful since. Please think twice when you prepare your joke for next year. Thanks.
Duuuuuuuuuuuuuude…….
:::: shakes head and walks away ::::
um wasn’t funny
Haha I was about to write “April Fools…”
You fuck! That wasn’t funny.
Apologize. Apologize immediately. Such an asshole.
I suspected this was a joke when I saw the pic, how is someone who is supposedly grieving somehow manage to posts pics with the post? Also seeing an unborn child would be the last thing you would want to do. I would think a simple post would be more realistic.
Dick move though, I usually prank everyone myself today but I had a miscarriage last year and this was too sad.
Meanie!!
@TheTheologiansCafe -
I lost a child once. Thanks for making fun of a very sad situation. If they’re born or not, it’s still your child and their loss is grieved. It’s the worst thing a parent can go through. You’re heartless.
@tsh44 - We’re not happy it isn’t for real. We’re relieved it isn’t for real. We’re mad that he is being a jackass as usual.
lol your wife lost her child!
Will do. Though…this is incredibly insensitive to all the people here that have been through miscarriage(s). All the more reason to keep you in our prayers.
You have missed humor by a mile.
At least your dad didn’t die this year.
<3 THOUGHTS ARE WITH YOU. XO
I should know by now..you have done this before..that last one I remember was BAD!..you are a stinker you know that..???
Yikes..you are just Toooo much.!…Ok..nothing left to say Dan…’you little rascal’….
That was awful.
Not funny. I’ve had two miscarriages, and I can promise you that it’s nothing to joke about.
You can go straight to hell, fuckstick.
@the_rocking_of_socks - >_>
@Rob_of_the_Sky - LOL you always put a smile on my face!
i was just about to close down the computer for the night, then remembered, “oh wait! i saw where dan’s wife miscarried.. i want to go say how sorry i am!” i usually never really read others comments – - in this case, glad i did!! i’ve miscarried 3 times and still, gotta admit .. pretty good april fool’s joke!!
that’s low, dan….
More stuff to think about…. (not!)
