This right here! 

It’s always been an issue for me. We are childless but if asked and we use that term people start pitying us. “You’re never too old! Just pray more! Why don’t you use a surrogate?” If we use the term child-free we’re treated as baby-hating monsters. We’re pretty much screwed no matter which choice we make.

Wow... that's crazy.  I never knew it was such a big deal to people.  I have children, even 1 grandchild, and I love them all.  My best friend of 25 years is child free by choice. He and his wife ust didn't want kids.  I couldn't imagine giving them a hard time over it.
