Hello all!

This is my first post and I am a newbie to Virtual Families (played VV though)

Im sure this has already been discussed so I apologize but I have a couple questions.

HOW LONG DOES IT TAKE FOR THE KIDS TO GROW UP??? I have been playing since Sunday and my families are all still on their 1st generation. (I did get twins on one family, whoo hoo!)

I know it takes like 2-4 hours for the mom to quit carrying the baby (i think) but my oldest kids are only 16 still.

Thanks for replying in advance, I apologize again if this is repetitive!
