Can someone help me remember a movie that I saw when I was 11?!
Question: It was a movie of a single mom with I think 2 daughters and one son. The children would always complain about what a horrible mother they had so they wished for a new mom. One day there wish came true and they woke up to a new mother. The kids noticed that eveytime they dislike their new mother and they would wish for a new mother they would wake up to a new mother figure everyday. There was also this scene in the movie where they would walk down an alley and there was different stands and everystand was selling a new mother for anyone who wanted to buy her. There was rich mothers, circus mothers, old fashion mothers, and the list goes on. Well towards the end of the movie the children noticed that they didn't like any of the new mothers so they wanted their old mother back. The children learned their lesson through many expereinces and finally woke up to their old mother and learned how to appreciate her. I know this movie sounds werid but I swear I saw it like 8 years when I was 11.

IMDB summary:
Elizabeth, Jeremy, and Harry Martin have had it with their workaholic, nagging mother and they get in trouble at school with bullies and almost smoking cigarettes. They go to this mysterious gardener named Mrs. Cavour and she tells the siblings about an ancient spell to make their mother disappear. That night they say the incantation and the next morning, they wake up and they find their mother is gone and they can't remember anything about her. Mrs. Cavour tells the children about the Mommy Market, a place in town where they had about every mother you could think of. When they go there, the Mommy Market had a policy where you could have 3 tokens to take a mother home. If they could not find a suitable mother by their third token, they could never go back. The mothers they pick are not what they hoped for and they feel lost without someone to look after them. They wanted their very own mother to love and they must think of a memory of their own to remember her and break the spell.

Wow! I just answered this one about a week ago. Since I joined Y!A, I've seen this movie asked about at least four times, so it must be fairly popular.
The film is based on the novel "The Mommy Market" by Nancy Brelis.
Your thinking of the movie "Trading Mom"
Where the 3 kids (2 sons and a daughter) visit the Mommy Market to buy a new mom right?
