Man this just goes to show that I'm an old-school mom whose kids are in bed by 9. And my sons 13.
Its gonna be hard for Mom to break her son/herself of this habit. I imagine it was just the two of them for sometime before you came along, and they have been living in their own little world. (I understand this, I was a single mom too).
Some Moms (most) get defensive when advice on their parenting is given. I would suggest you ask if you could tuck the son in. Talk to him a bit about his day, interests, whatever, then let him read for a while before lights out...so she can have a break, and then you grownups can have some time together. Hopefully this could pave the way for a more appropriate routine.
