Question

I have been trying to target a .parents() a tag

I am using this code –

$('#nav li li:has(a.current)').parents('li').find('a').addClass('current');

It does target the parents a tag and add the correct class but it also adds the class to all its siblings.

Any tips on why I am also getting siblings?

It sounds like you only want the A that is the child of the parent, switch find() to children()

$('#nav li li:has(a.current)').parents('li').children('a').addClass('current');
