Anyone else feel relieved once they get to the “teen” life stage?

I wouldn't say I enjoy those stages much. With toddlers and children, its all "chop chop get those skills maxed and those aspirations done" so you can get your bday cake and become a teen. Its a rush for me, really, and quite repetitive.

To be honest, I quite rush through the teen life stage too, in some cases. I some times cheat skills/aspirations to get them done quicker (and the character value out of the trait-zone, because I find the constant character trait whims incredibly annoying)
