I am not asking Ron to be perfectly mature, I know he is a 14 year 
old boy. I never said that. All I said was that Mrs Weasley can't be 
expected to fix everything in Ron's life if he doesn't ask. We all 
know that Ron is a bit bull headed and that he wouldn't ask for help. 
However how is Molly supposed to read his mind. To her the robes 
could not be as bad, or maybe she didn't think about it, considering 
everything between the Quidditch World Cup and the First day of 
school is kinda hectic. I am NOT saying that Ron isn't her number one 
priority I'm saying that unless Ron asks his robes aren't her number 
one priority. My other mother if I ask is most willing to help me in 
whatever the case may be, but unless I ask how is she supposed to 
know? Can she read minds? I never knew Molly was a seer. This doesn't 
mean she doesn't care or she doesn't love Ron it just means that she 
is the busy woman that she is. Take this as you want but I know what 
I mean and I'm sorry if this isn't coming out the way I intend.
