Save this to a variable before making the ajax call and use that instead:

$('.add').click(function() {
    var self = this; // save this as self
    //etc etc
    $.ajax({
            type:"GET",
            url:"/",
            data:data,
            dataType: 'json',
            beforeSend:function(html){
                //Nothing here right now
            },
            success: function(){
                // use self instead of this
                $(self).parent("div").after("
I'm the new one.
");
            },
