If you're not being given jobs purely based on your age & cos you got kids its blatant discrimination (which in any country is illegal).
If you live in Britain the law changes in October to make ageism illegal...so you cant be refused a job purely cos of your age (I dont know about other countries).
Maybe if you call companies who rejected you & ask for feedback as to why they thought you are unsuitable - they should tell you & you can then use this info to help make your next one more successful.

Never too old to work. Find out your skills and the importance of your children and how to support them. If you're looking for an office job, you need to be professional and have a good CV/resume. If not, look for jobs you can do with your hands.

You aren't too old to work! Just keep looking for jobs that you would enjoy! If you find a job that pays well and you hate it you'll be miserable so always do what you enjoy or you most likely wont be happy!

This should not be nearly as hard as it seems.
What are your skills?
