I think the reason they are doing this is because everyone gets annoyed that MM can't keep a secret. And they are finally not being picture perfect, which was another big complaint.

Taking years away from Mal and her daughter (assuming she is Lily) is no different then what Regina did to Snow, but Regina did it for revenge against something Snow did when she was 10, Snow is doing it to save her child, not that it makes it okay, but it's no worse than Regina.
