Don't you just hate the way kids age in soaps? (ABC)?

Iswear it pisses me off. My baby was born around the same time as Hope and it's already her 1st birthday!! Michael on GH was a little kid when he was shot and a year later he's a teenager! Kristina too......she is like a few years younger than Mike and she's all teenager too. Lulu is supposed to be only like 16, and Robin's kid is already like 2 y.o. It so ridiculous. State your complaints here!!!!
