I’m a 30-year-old woman, a CPA, and a parent. I’ve been working in tax for about 10 years, starting at a small CPA firm during college, then moving to Big 4, and now working in a role that involves both tax and trading.

I have a partner/director-level colleague (early 40s) who constantly calls me “kiddo.” In meetings, in one-on-one conversations, when stopping by my office. it’s almost never my actual name, just “kiddo.”

I’ve only worked at two other firms before this, and I’ve never had anyone address me that way. It’s not the end of the world, but it feels dismissive (don’t know if this is the right word), especially given that I’m an experienced professional and not a new graduate.

I don’t consider myself particularly sensitive, but it happens often enough that it’s starting to bother me. I’ve been considering setting up a quick catch-up meeting and politely asking to be addressed by my name instead.

Has anyone dealt with something similar? How did you handle it, and how was it received?

ETA: Thank you for the advice. No, I've never heard him call anyone else kiddo. The young lady hired at the same time as me from KPMG (one position lower) has never been referred to as a kiddo. He addresses her by first name. I've never had a superior at PwC refer to me as anything other than my name, so apologies if this is normal somewhere else. He did it again at a team meeting this morning. I have only known this guy for 4 weeks, so I don't have a rapport with him. He does not address me by name and it's not hard to pronounce. Very similar to the name "Ariana". I don't expect my superior to call me that during meetings. Is he going to start doing this when we have joint calls with clients? Rather address this now.

I spent most of my life struggling with an eating disorder and used veganism as a cover for it. I was heavily restricting my food intake, and Starbucks drinks often became meal replacements. I've been in recovery for a few years now, and for the first time in a long time, my body is healthy. My hair grew back and now reaches my tailbone instead of constantly breaking off from nutritional deficiencies. I can take walks around the city with friends without getting dizzy, weak, or exhausted.

Now that my body has changed, I constantly hear comments from family about being "thick," gaining weight, or how I look better now than when I was thinner. I hate it. I worked hard to recover, yet those comments make me want to go back to restricting, to being invisible, and to taking up less space.

My body is nobody else's business. I don't understand why people feel so comfortable commenting on someone else's weight or appearance. Whether someone gains weight, loses weight, or stays the same, it's inappropriate to discuss their body without being asked. Has anyone else struggled with these kinds of comments during recovery? How do you handle them?
