I also found it irritating that, of all the people coming in and out 
of the Black house, Molly was the only one to cook and organize the 
cleaning.  Penny, I wondered too what exactly she was doing for the 
Order, as I didn't see her do more than fuss over her family and 
Harryand criticize Sirius and Mundungus.

Now Me:

I would like to defend Molly now. She is a stereotypical MOTHER. She 
fuses and fretts and LOVES. She barks but she doesn't bite. She would 
never disown one of her kids. She will always be there for them, and 
if her encouraging and pushing her kids to be good at school is a bad 
thing, then I think we have forgotten what a parent is. Even when 
Percy said those Horribly outrageous things to Arther she still went 
to London to try to patch things up. She took Harry in without a 
second thought and loves him like her own child. She is a wonderful 
asset not only to the kids but the order. Everyone needs a mother, 
even the Order of the Pheonix, they need someone to care for everyone 
and be there for everyone.


I asked before OOP what did Molly do with her time? If the Weasley's 
were so strapped for cash why didn't she get a job, the kids are out 
of the house most the year. However, now it is evident that that is 
where she is in her element. She seems most talented at running a 
household, and even though, especially today, not many people value 
that, I think she is a valuable asset being the person she is.
