I am using gnome mint and am using the romeo repos.
I just added a new user and the mint menu is there.

permissions!

use a sudo to create them.
sudo mkdir -p /home/dad/.linuxmint/mintMenu

then you have to change ownership of them since root will own them.
(so for the dad home dir)

sudo chown -R dad:dad /home/dad/.linuxmint

look at your working home and change the permissions on these files/dirs to be the same as well using the chmod command.
