Local mom denies allegations that she’s mad, confirms she’s disappointed

After hours of speculation from concerned family members, a mother from Vancouver has come out as saying that, although she isn’t mad at her son, she is certainly disappointed in him.

“I understand that he’s just at that age,” Martha Sydor, 47, announced in a calm yet very stern voice, “but that doesn’t mean he gets to disregard our house rules like that. I just don’t know what’s gotten into him lately.”

The announcement comes shortly after reports that her son Tanner came in two hours past curfew last night and smelled like cigarettes — though Tanner claims the scent originated from someone other than him.

“She’s just being controlling,” Tanner rebutted, following his mother’s comments. “I don’t even smoke. I was at a party and someone must have blown smoke on me, I swear.”

While she’s aware that Tanner had to grow up some day, Martha stands by earlier claims that she thought she and his father “had raised him better than this.” Investigation is still underway, but Martha isn’t ruling out the possibility that her sweet baby boy was overtaken at the party and pinned down, while someone forced him to smoke cigarettes against his will.

Whether the incident will affect Tanner’s ability to attend an upcoming Mother Mother concert is yet to be seen, but sources close to Martha say he will have to earn her trust back before she considers giving him and his friend a ride to the show.

Tanner has yet to release an official statement on his mother’s comments, but he’s responded to them directly by asking her to stay out of his room.
