Correct use:
The term "you shouldn’t / mustn’t" means DON’T DO IT!
There is practically no difference between shouldn't and mustn't.
For example:
You shouldn't leave the door open at night.
You mustn't leave the oven on when you leave the house.
You should brush your teeth before going to bed.
Origin of the confusion:
The German term "du musst nicht"means "you don't have to".
For example:
You don't have to buy a ticket for the bus because it's included in your train ticket.
