A Friend has given me permission to post her thoughts about the 
Weasleys

 I love the entire W
Weasley clan, and especially Molly and Arthur.  I wish I'd had a 
family like that.  I've always been surprised at the people who think 
Arthur is brow beaten.  It's always seemed to me that he does exactly 
what he wants, when he thinks it's the right thing to do.  i think 
he's got a mild laid back personality, as do I, and people like us 
can love loud boisterous people, not want to raise their ire--as in 
GOF over the toffee and Dudley--and yet not allow ourselves to be 
ordered around and "beaten into submission" just because.  We have a 
different kind of strength and priorities.  i've always thought 
Arthur and Molly have a very strong relationship, with mutual respect 
and affection.  They agree, disagree, compromise with each other, and 
so obviously love each other.  
 
I have dear friends who lead a somewhat similar life, which perhaps 
is why I've never even questioned the traditional gender roles, till 
I started reading such things on other boards.  My friend chooses to 
work inside the home.  This was her desire from day one, not 
something imposed on her by her husband.  And I don't know who works 
harder.  They have four kids, ranging in age from 5 to 15, plus her 
mom lives in the home, and I even did for a while.  My friend manages 
all household duties, except the ones she thinks her husband and kids 
should do or she can't do.  She handles the budget, all shopping, 
cleaning--though now she has professional people who come in twice a 
month to do major stuff--shuttles the kids all over to various 
activities and even home schools all four of them.  She is strong 
willed with a temper, yells when the kids drive her nuts, and is the 
main disciplinarian.  The kids greatest fear would be something like 
the twins' when Hermione threatens to tell their mother.  Yet, those 
kids, even the 15 year old boy, still rush to her when she comes 
home, still snuggle around her to watch TV, still hug and kiss her 
and love her dearly.  The husband seems mild and laid back, 
superficially, and perhaps unkind people who don't know them well 
would think he lets her rule him, but that is so not true.  They make 
joint decisions in raising the kids, spending money and anything else 
that is important.  They are truly a team in the marriage and in 
their roles as parents, and it shows in the ways the kids are happy, 
wild, well behaved and loving.
 
so, I'm with you about the Weasleys.  And if we needed more proof, 
wasn't 'Molly Wobbles" an example of the intimacy between them?  
 
I've only ever disliked Molly once, and that was over Sirius in 
OOTP.  I love Sirius, and i so wanted Harry to be able to have him as 
his guardian, as his parents had intended.  I resented, on Sirius' 
behalf, Molly's harsh unkind words in OOTP, even though I know her 
heart was in the right place.  That doesn't mean I suddenly disliked 
her, just didn't like what she did.  Yet she was under such great 
stress and worried all the time.  Her methods may have been wrong, 
but her motives were right.
