Nettels
Those with Not Enough Time To Enjoy Life – families in Australia with two full-time working parents.

An Australian social researcher, Bernard Salt, has coined the term Nettel to describe wealthy families in which both parents work full-time, juggling work and child care in order to maintain a high standard of living, Paul Tatnellreported for News.com.au:

Census statistics show families with two full-time working parents and two dependent children under the age of 24 feel that they need more than $95,000 [100,000 Australian dollars] a year to survive, and they are willing to sacrifice family time, holidays and relaxation to achieve their goals.
Bernard Salt said:
Stressed out Nettel parents spend their evenings forever scheduling, organising and diarising about how to execute the next day’s business commitments amid their children’s pick-ups and drop-offs.
