just needs to be - Who do you think you are?, telling me what to do.
I think!..
I have to be close!, normally, this conversation would involve the first part as a question, and the second as a preemptive strike against the inevitable "what do you mean by that? (or similar) reply from the parent or relevant authority figure.

Maybe: ''Who do you think you are? Telling ME what to do!''
Or: ''Who do you think you are to tell me what to do?''
Don't know which would be 'correct', but then, when you're feeling pretty angry with someone, is it that important to let your feelings known with perfect grammar?

It's correct, but when written, you might want to tone it up. Who do you think you are that you should be telling me what to do?

It's a little colloquial, but basically all right...
You could also say, "Who are you to tell me what to do?"
