Dude OF COURSE. Fair warning, this is gonna have a hefty side of Next Gen Feels.

• Okay so maybe Hermione is the friend you go to when you want to actually brainstorm a solution, but Ron’s the guy you go to when you just want to VENT. He fully accepts that not every complaint has to have an immediate clever solution; he’ll listen sympathetically and agree that who/whatever is getting you down is just balls and fuck them and do you want another brownie? Go on, help yourself.
  
• I like to think that after the Camping Trip from Hell in DH he appreciates Molly’s cooking a lot more, and makes an effort to learn. So there’s always an abundance of comfort food in the Granger-Weasley household.
• At first he was like “oh I’ll surprise Hermione for our anniversary” but then he was like “holy shit that’s far away” so now it’s Surprise Fancy Dinner night like three times a month. Hermione loves it.
• Ron teaches Wizard chess to every child in the family who sits still long enough to learn. His best and brightest are Teddy, Lucy, James, Al, and of course his own daughter Rose.
• “Did I ever tell you about how I beat Professor McGonagall’s giant chess set?”
  
• “Only a hundred times, Daddy. And it’s Headmistress McGonagall now, remember?”
  
• He makes sure to get at least one chocolate frog cards of all his friends and family members, but the rest get dispersed among his kids, nieces, and nephews. And then eventually all of them end up with either Al or Hugo and they have hundreds and Ron is very very proud of the family collection. He considers it his favorite heirloom.
• Ron and Hermione balance out as parents really well because Hermione’s like “I’m so glad you’re home but shouldn’t you be studying? I know you’re twelve, but are you thinking about your OWLs yet? Couldn’t this have been a 100 percent?” And Ron’s over here like “lmao yeah Transfiguration is hard a fuck, congrats on the B. High five. You did good, want ice cream?”
• He totally swears in front of all the children and makes them promise not to tell Hermione. They love it. (Ginny probably does the same.)
• He was so SO excited for his first Christmas with kids holy shit. He started decorating in like the middle of November. Hermione would get home from the Ministry to discover Ron hanging up lights with little Rose in a sling on his chest, wearing a tiny pair of antlers and a red nose.
• “What about Thanksgiving, Ron?”
  
• “Fuck that, we’re skipping straight to Christmas this year.”
• He practiced so hard learning how to help Rose style her natural hair, because she sure as hell wasn’t getting a lot of help from Hermione. Hermione’s a great and supportive mom, but her approach to hair is basically “I don’t know, it’s just hair, who gives a shit”.
• Hermione wanted to try the “let the kids cry themselves to sleep” approach, because she read it was better for them. It worked pretty well for Rose, but the first night the tried it with Hugo and he cried for HOURS. Finally Ron got up and brought the poor kid into their bed, and announced that Hugo was never crying himself to sleep again.
