trouble one's head with
trouble (one's) head with (someone or something)
To concern oneself with or worry about someone or something. Often used in negative constructions. It's just a minor technical error that should resolve itself—wouldn't trouble your head with it. I know I need to stop troubling my head with such negative people, but I can't help letting their comments get to me.
