    Contex can be important for more accurate translation.
    "Перестаньте меня опекать", "хватит приглядывать за мной", "не нужно носиться со мной, как курица с яйцами".

    I bet she meant a situation when someone speaks in a friendly voice, but the voice also shows that they think they're far more superior than you are.

    So maybe something like:

    Хватит с меня твоего слащавого голоска.

    Хватит строить из себя умного.

    Хватит говорить так, как будто ты лучше меня.

    Maybe someone can come up with a better translation for that. I'm all out

    I do not claim that my opinion is absolutely true.
    If you've spotted any mistake in my English, please, correct it. I want to be aware of any mistakes to efficiently eliminate them before they become a habit.
