No.
I feel I've done my time with babies
I have had five children (now adults) and seven grandchildren who I love - but don't want to be their mother.

Enough is enough! 😂

Am well over 50, am 67, 68 this year, so my broody days were over a long time ago.
I suggest getting a dog.

Definitely not broody, but I just love seeing babies, little toddlers and young children watching their adoring parents with equal adoring eyes. So lovely to see, and makes me smile.
Some toddlers will catch my eye in the supermarket, and will smile and make me smile too.

I don’t think it’s unusual tbh

Have you got children? How old are they? At 50 they could still be quite young

Mine are grown up, in their 29s. If I still felt broody I think I’d foster, but it depends on your job and family circumstances
