LOL!  You make an excellent (if not a simply excellently sarcastic) 
point here.  I would hate to think that Molly would have to tell her 
son, after 14 years, that the Weasley family is poor. That would make 
both of them morons, and they're not.  However, Molly could pull Ron 
aside and remind him to have better manners in front of guests.  I 
was not always the most tactful child and suffered the consequences 
when my mom took gifts back from me.  Ron needs a firm reminder here 
about 1) complaining about things he cannot control 2) airing his 
family's dirty laundry in front of guests.  Molly could also (as I've 
said before) make her children do more around the house so they can 
all learn some responsibility, Ron in particular.  Then maybe he 
won't treat his mother so disrespectfully.
