"stop telling me what to do"?

I asked the machine translators for this phrase in Spanish:

Stop telling me what to do

...and I got two answers:

Deja de decirme lo que hacer

and

Pare decirme lo que hacer.

What is the correct translation? I'm looking for the tú form. Thank you.

Those are kind of awkward translations. You could say "No me digas qué hacer" - Don't tell me what to do "No me mandes" / "No me des tantas órdenes" - Don't boss me around / Don't order me around so much. "Deja de decirme lo que hacer" - (One that you had that works well) Stop telling me what to do.

"Deja de decirme lo que hacer"

What does "lo" mean in this instance?

lo que relative pronoun

When the relative pronoun refers to an abstract idea, use "lo que."

Lo que quieres no existe. That which you want does not exist.

No comprendo lo que ocurre. I do not understand that which is happening.

Thank you, everyone.

"Deja de decirme lo que hacer"

Should it be "qué" or "que"?

What does "lo" mean in this instance?
