I just want them to go! (Rant)

My baby is 5 and a half months old and both myself and my fiance are utterly in love with him. Despite this, I struggled through a complicated pregnancy, a scary birth and a difficult time afterwards - not helped by my partner working 16 hours a day and us having to take legal action against his boss for not paying him right. I was diagnosed with PND about a month ago and suffer with anxiety. On a brighter note, my baby is happy and healthy and myself and my partner just got engaged...he has taken some time out to care for me.
It may sound like we have enough on our plate but I have a tendency to want to help everybody else fix their problems. So about two months ago, before I became ill with PND, myself and my fiance invited my younger brother and his girlfriend over to stay with us. They had nowhere to go, and were struggling to find somewhere they could both get a job as she is from South America and he is from here in the UK. They had been travelling and both completely run out of money, with no jobs. I was trying to do them a favour while they sort out their options so suggested they come here for a few weeks.
They've now been here almost two months and I am hating it. Our flat is tiny and we're really wanting to transition our little one into his own room (which they have taken over). We cannot afford the financial burden of feeding and housing them any longer and I am feeling claustrophobic and annoyed by some of their living habits.
While they have been fun to have around, and helpful with chores etc, I now feel that the burden of having them here is far outweighing the benefits. I desperately want them to leave, yet I know they have no other options right now and I don't have the heart to turf them out. I love my brother, but I just need my space back and my little one needs his own room.
