Timing Inconsistencies

I do not understand, how they calculate the Time, on this Soap. It is very incoherent.

Liam keeps saying, Thomas kept the Baby, for Months and Months. But in Normal Time, there were only 2 Days. Between when, he overhears the Truth, and when he proposes to Hope. 1 more Day, until he marries her. And she got the Baby back, the Day after her Wedding. It was not more, than 4 Days. Not Months.

Finn keeps saying, he worked on Eric's Treatment, for Weeks and Weeks. Yet there were only 2 Days. Between when Ridge tells Steffy and Thomas the Truth, about Eric's Illness. And when Eric organizes his Party. He collapses, at the End of his Party. His Surgery is the following Day. In Real Time, Finn only knew, for 48 Hours. Not Weeks.

There is 1 Christmas Episode, per Year in December. Yet all of a Sudden, Beth is 7 and Hayes is 5. In Normal Time, Beth should be 5, and Hayes should be 3.

I could give more Examples. This is very inconsistent, how they mix Days, Weeks, Months and Years.

It is. The kids are aged because it is easier to find older child actors. It's not meant to make sense. It is just a fact that soap audiences are used to. But the other stuff is confusing. Sometimes like now, every day lasts over a week, then other times, we jump weeks or even months ahead.It all depends on the story.
