Cot mattress in the washing machine

My husband is so irresponsible. Some time ago I left him alone with our baby for three days because I needed to go to visit my ill mother. Of course I was afraid because I did not know id my husband would take such responsible task. I prepared everything earlier. They had all the food and clothes prepared. They needed just to use microwave and that was all. Bt still I did not know if my husband was good candidate for a nanny. When we are at home together I am always the one who takes care of our baby and he always says that he is not good in playing or taking care of small children. Anyway I was forced to left my husband for three days with our baby and he had to somehow make it. When I was in my mother"s house I phoned him few times and he was always saying that everything was alright. But when I was back at our home he said that there was a problem with a cot mattress. The baby stained the cot mattress so my bright husband decided to wash it. He just put it into the wash machine and he started it. The effect was horrible. The cot mattress was not supposed to be washed in the washing machine. After the washing it was completely destroyed and what is more when the cot mattress was soaked up with water it was too heavy for our washing machine and our washing machine broke down. Now we have to buy a new cot mattress and a new washing machine. Luckily our baby survived somehow those three days with father.
