That crazy clock has to be the bane of Mrs. Weasley's existance. I'm
sure it's a beautiful clock and it seemed like a great idea when they
bought it, but with their kids, kids who are constantly in trouble, it
has to drive Mrs. Weasley insane. Half a dozen times a year, Ron's
hand and by implication Harry are in Mortal Danger which leaves Mrs.
Weasley pacing the floor in a state of panic. 

Before the fact, I'm sure 'home', 'travel', 'work', and even 'mortal
peril' seemed like good things to know, but I'll bet very soon Mrs.
Weasley cursed the day they ever bought it.

Sometimes, it's better not to know.

Just a few thoughts.
