Ron's "poor me" syndrome.

Del, All I'm going to say is that it is hard being a parent, let 
alone of 7 children!  I'm sure Arthur and Molly have done (and 
continue to do) the best they can with what they have.  There is so 
much love in the Weasley home (not *conditional* love, but 
*unconditional* love).  NEVER once have Arthur or Molly completely 
disowned one of their children because they are not up to some high 
standard.  If you have ever met a poor family or been poor yourself 
it is hard.  Let me better explain myself.  Being poor *sucks* (for 
lack of a better word)!  If having money is something you don't have 
then being educated is the next best thing.  Molly and Arthur only 
want their children to succeed and work hard because they want them 
to make something of themselves and get away from the *Weasley* 
stigma.  It's not difficult to see where they are coming from 
because I have been around several poor families.  And in the WW it 
may be even worse to not have money.  My point is...is that Molly 
and Arthur are not lacking in the 'love department' when it comes to 
their family (their children especially).  They just want the best 
for them.  Hopefully one day, Ron will *grow* up and be able to see 
that for what it is.  Bill, Charlie, Fred, George, and Ginny already 
have (with the exception of Percy because he is 'power hungry'...but 
hopefully that will change soon as well).  Point is...Ron is loved 
in all aspects.  
Mayeaux45, who felt that speaking from close personal experience 
(with family friends)would give insight into the Weasley family! ;)
