    Spilt Milk?
    What does "don’t cry over spilt milk" mean?

    It means don’t sweat the small stuff.

    That is you spill a glass of milk, you clean it up and get another, you don’t cry, worry, bitch or moan about it. So translate that into don’t stress over the little things in life. It’s OK you pick yourself up and keep going

    That crying is pointless, as the milk cannot be put back into the glass. So it just means to accept what has happened, suck it up, and keep on going.

    It doesn’t do any good to be unhappy about something that has already happened or that can’t be helped. From "The New Dictionary of Cultural Literacy, Third Edition. 2002." Link below………

    Hope this helps.

    It means if something is over and done you should put your attention elsewhere and quit pining for the lost milk.
