Why do you suppose they had the bathroom tied up for 45 minutes? I'm sure you have lots of theories, but let me throw this one out: 45 minutes is about how long it takes to shoot up heroin, then recover enough to show your face in polite society.
You moving out is not the solution. Nor can you fight your wife and her darlings. What you have to do is to have a private discussion with your wife as to why you consider their behavior unacceptable, and what you expect from them if they are staying in your home. You can start with the bathroom problem. Make your expectations things that are immediate. Saying "you have to get a job in ten days" won't work because ten days will come and go with no job but plenty of excuses. Telling them the bathroom is off-limits from 6 to 7 am because you need it then is something for which they can't make up an excuse.
Consider requiring Sonny to take a drug test as a condition of staying under your roof. 35 bucks will buy you a home drug testing kit at your corner drugstore, good for opiates, amphetamines, pot and a bunch of other good stuff. Plop it down in front of Junior, and with a little luck he'll be so offended he'll pack his bags on the spot. If he does agree to pee in a bottle, make sure you follow him into the bathroom and watch him closely. Trust me, Little Timmy knows a lot more about drug tests than you do.
If you can stick it out, and you and your wife stay on the same page, eventually it will sort itself out. But in the meantime, you need to do a few things to protect your finances: Any and all financial documents need to be under lock and key. That includes bank statements, tax returns, blank checks, cancelled checks, even stuff from closed bank accounts. Little Mikey and his sweetheart are likely to have a keen interest in them. Ditto for anything else you don't want them getting into. Password protect your computer and secure your files. Set up separate computer accounts for you and your wife , because she WILL give her password to the little lovebirds when they ask for it. Do not let your wallet out of sight! On the other hand, don't suggest to your wife that she hide her purse: It will expedite their departure when your wife notices her pocketbook coming up consistently light. (Little Bradley might not be willing to steal from Mom, but Little Snookums will have no such reservations.)
Stick it out, and some day you'll laugh about it. Or at least that's what they tell me. This too will pass.

Today's Featured Article - Restoration Story: Fordson Major - by Anthony West. George bought his Fordson Major from a an implement sale about 18 years ago for £200.00 (UK).
