If Robin grew up in SB like you suggested (for 18 years) it's strange that she has aged, but not the other people in SB. Same with Alice. Well, she didn't grow up in SB, but we saw her birth...and that happened while Henry was already in NEF, right? But that means she aged 18 years while Henry was there, correct? Alice was born way before Henry left Storybrooke at 18. She was born right when the curse wasn't cast in the wish realm, so she'd be the same age as a Wish Emma. If you think about how old Wish Hook was before the youth spell (and at 6x11), this makes sense. But I do think when you add in 8+ years for Lucy, she should be in her 30s now and it appears that she's younger than that, so something seems off there.

They haven't said anything about time moving faster in one realm vs another, which has been really annoying. I know in 7x10, Zelena said something about Robin growing up faster in "our realm" or w/e, however, I don't think anything happened to Robin. In the 7x11 flashbacks, she is confirmed to be 18 around the time Lucy is born. In 7x10, they had confirmed her as 25 when Lucy turned 8. That lines up with a normal aging timeline.
