Why Arthur & Molly were not in the Order the first time around

According to the HP Lexicon:

Bill Weasley- born mid 60's
Charlie Weasley- born 1967
Percy Weasley- born 1976
Twin Weasleys- born April 1978
Ron Weasley- born March 1980
Ginny Weasley- born 1981

I didn't see where it said the Order was created (anyone?). During 
the time I'm assuming it was created (at least during Lily & James's 
7th yr. Maybe even the year after they got out) which would be 77/78. 
The Weasley's are busy with their new family. You've got Charlie who 
is in his first few years of HW. A toddler Percy. Baby twins. Then 
later, a newborn Ron and I'm gonna venture to say Molly got pregnant 
w/ Ginny within 1 or 2 months of having Ron (lol while having toddler 
Fred/George twins. Which would probably make any parent cringe!). I 
figure it's pretty obvious why they weren't in the order. Their hands 
were tied up with the babies. First priority at that time.
