One of Aibileen's biggest concerns is what is going to happen to Mae Mobley in the future. Aibileen's biggest concern is Mae Mobley turning out like her mother and thinking that black people are diseased and dirty. Miss Leefolt saw Mae Mobley use Aibileen's bathroom and became outraged. She taught Mae Mobley how to use her own bathroom and even showed her what to do, and yet Mae Mobley still insists on going in Aibileen's.
In the future Mae Mobley will definitely have some interesting stories to tell. Stories about how her mother was neglectful and would get mad at her for silly little things like not eating in her highchair or even how Miss Leefolt would hit her for wanting attention. She was sent mixed signals as a child. Aibileen was the one that raised her and cared for her and yet her mom was enraged when Mae Mobley used anything that belonged to Aibileen. Mae Mobley is very attached to Aibileen; much more than Miss Leefolt. Considering Mae Mobley's behavior, I can predict that she will not end up like her mother and racist. Instead she will probably end up like Miss Skeeter and value Aibileen as a person and as a caregiver.
