This situation makes Skeeter feel sad, disappointed, and frustated. Skeeter hasn't found the right man for her so far, but instead, she has reach a major goal, which is to finish a career, and become a professional woman; but her mother doesn't seems to care.

As a personal experience, when I was living with my mother, I was force to agree with her all the time. As I was getting older, I thought I could be able to speak up, and give my point of view. That was a big mistake, every time I said something that wasn't going according to my mother's thoughts, or believes, I had to listen to her arguments for hours. Then I noticed how I could never be able to say what I think. So, I decided to always say to her: "yes mom", "no mom", or "yes your are right".
