I found that each and every one of his "complaints" was justified and
*had* to be spoken. Ron hates being poor, so it would NOT have made
sense if he hadn't complained at the times he did.

To me, his complaints are just as normal as Hermione berating the boys
when they don't do their homework.

Del replies :
I'm sure Ron knows that. Just look at the way he reacted to Percy's
letter. For that matter, just look at the way the younger Weasley kids
reacted to Percy telling his dad that it was his fault they were so
poor. They all suffer from being poor, but they all know that what
their dad did give them (love) is more important than what he didn't
give them (money). Ron never accused his parents of not giving him
what they should ; he just hates being poor, and there's nothing wrong
with that.
