I am trying to translate some Spanish subtitles (to a French movie!) into English and can't figure out the phrase would mean in idiomatic English. Quítate-que-me-pongo-yo.

move over, it's my turn (now)
Así, a voz de pronto, es la idea que me da la frase, no es traducción literal, pero es el significado que me transfiere y la traducción más cercana a este significado que se me ocurre ahora mismo.
Lo que es la frase en Inglés "Move over, it's my turn (now)" sí que es de uso común.
Bueno, he ahí mi aportación, espero pueda ayudar.
Un saludo, Anne.

get out of my way, i'm up/watch out, it's my turn
Hay muchos posibilidades. Si es James Bond hablando, hay que hacerlo de una manera ... si es Bart Simpson de otra ...

"Get out of my way, let me do it", "Get out of my way, I'll take care of it", "Don't get in my way, I will do it". These all assume that there is something that she must do. There is probably a much better translation, wait and see what comes in.

Get out of my way
This is a common idiomatic expression in the source language. It has some variations, such as "quítate tú pa' ponerme yo" which was also made into a very popular Latin Jazz or "salsa" song years ago.
It doesn't have a friendly connotation, though.
Hope this helps.

"It's my time to live"(my life)
or "just let me live my life", or "you had your chance to live, now it's my turn"
Just a suggestion...I thought it went with the context of how children are when they get older and they just want to be left alone to live their life. Almost like saying to the parent, "you had your chance to live, now it's my turn".

see below:
two idiomatic expressions come to mind:
"back off and give me some space"
and
"It's time I make my own decisions"
Like S Price said, you gave a good description, but I still don't know the level of emotion/tension/conciliation in the dialogue between the two parents.
I hope these suggestions help give you some ideas...

...and they're like, "Move over, it's my time now."
One day you realize that the children grow up and they're like, "Move over, it's my time now."
I think this translation (as is) would capture the colloquial expression and meaning of the phrase; and it'll also fit in the subtitle space you have for it.
Luck!
