Does "take it up with someone" mean "bring the issue up to someone"? "I believe you must take it up further with your son, Mr. Torrance, sir. He understands everything, although he hasn't enlightened you. Rather naughty of him, if I may be so bold, sir. In fact, he's crossed you at almost every turn, hasn't he? And him not yet six." Hi, this is from the shining again. But I am not quite sure about the meaning of this phrase. Does "take it up with your son" mean "bring the issue up to your son"? Thank you in advance.
