| I was laughing so loudly as I read this story! I loved reading about Ron at loose ends with four young sons, while trying to figure out Muggle math homework. These plot points worked perfectly in a story about Ron! I could completely picture the Ron from JKR's books grown up, but still somewhat out of his depth in situations like these. Very, very funny stuff! |

OH MY GOD. This is SOOOOO funny. I can't even begin to tell you how amazing this is. Fathers like Ron (like my own) can't remember algebra (not that Ron took algebra or geometry) or geometry...Wow...Lucky for my dad, I don't have siblings. It's just me!!! So it's just me that's having various problems..falling, fighting with friends, math problems...mom can only help with those. Great job!

| This was great fun! I had a real giggle - Ron in this story is the exact example of my husband trying to cope with our three kids! |

Loved it! You made me giggle so much, and have provided me with much-needed fortification against my Maths homework.
Well done!! |

| Thank you so much for your nice review! Just ask your father for help with maths or, no, better don't. My father always wanted to prove me that he's better and did ridiculous stuff instead of explaining the exercises. Well, there's nothing wrong with some good, old procrastination, expecially when schoolwork is concerned. |

| Cute, but I don't think is quite that big a dunderhead, well, o.k. |

| Thanks for your review! I'm really pleased that you noticed what was bothering me most about the story. Before I sent it to my beta here at PS, I asked myself if Ron could really so bad at maths. He's a chess champion! He's great at logic! But there are people all over the world who are wonderfully clever, but unexplicably at a loss when it comes to maths. Especially text exercises can be very hard for parents who have learnt it a different way or have already forgotten most of their math. And therefore I decided to make Ron a "dunderhead" at maths. As for the calculator: You know Ron and Muggle items. Fellytone anyone? |

Mira, remember we talked about a story where we both felt like the narrator was sitting right in front of us, telling us what happened? Just for your interest: you write like that, too. Your Ron sounds wonderfully real.
You may have guessed by now, I enjoyed this a lot. The very best part (apart from the absolute chaos and Ron's incompetence when it comes to baby-sitting ) was the last sentence. What a perfect ending. |

| Oh, Evelyn, that was the best compliment you could pay me! I'm happy you enjoyed reading the ending as much as I did writing it; it's my tribute to Molly, who does a lot more than most HP-readers imagine. |

| Wonderful story! Of course, I'm a math teacher so I loved that Ron was trying to help his son with math. It was very funny and gave a great glimpse into the Weasley-Granger household. |

| Thank you very much for your kind words. I'm glad that you liked my Weasley-Granger household and enjoyed the story. |

| Poor Ron! I can certainly see him in this situation. I don't know what made me chuckle harder; the fact that Ron is absolutely helpless at different kinds of maths exercises or that he has absolutely no control over his unruly brood of boys. Thank goodness for Molly...she's really great at solving family problems and it looks like she's managed to take control of this lot and make them into a civil, happier family until Hermione can get home. Thanks for sharing this delightful story. |

| Thank you very much for your nice review! It was really funny to write this story - I've two younger sisters and one brother and I know how it's like when mayhem breaks out. And with Fred and George as proud uncles - what do you expect? |

Oh my god- this looks HILARIOUS! I love math myself- I've got a great teacher- but I know how Ron would pass on his trait of hating the subject. I can't wait to read it, but homework beckons my attention and my father's yelling at me in my head to get to it-

| You won't guess: I love math, too, I even put the main focus on it for my final exams at school But there are many clever people who are at a loss when it comes to math - seems like Ron belongs to them |

I liked it. The plot is so simple, but entertaining as well. The idea of Ron being stuck at home with the boys is really quite fun. You would think that over the years he would have learned how to handle them from Hermione, but that's our Ron!
You write him very well. I can imagine him acting just exactly like this. Well done. I only wish we could have seen Hermione's reaction to it all! |
