Turkish term or phrase: tasasıyla uğraşacak halim yok
The context is mildly vulgar but I hope not offensive enough to warrant removing:-
bu oruspu çocuklarının derdi, tasasıyla uğraşacak halim yok.
I know the common 'oruspu çocuğu' but, as always, I am never concerned with the vulgarity; it is the idiom which is far more interesting.

Both translations are good but 'I don't have the energy' gives me the element of exhaustion whereas 'I can't be bothered to deal with' does not imply exhaustion. Thanks to both.
