She doesn't want Aegeus to recognize his son, Theseus, because Aegeus would then reinstate Theseus's position as heir and he would inherit the throne of Athens after Aegeus dies. Medea wants her own son, Medus, to rule Athens after Aegeus dies - she wants to remove Theseus so that this can happen.

Why did Medea try to poison Theseus and how does King Aegeus stop her plans?
Medea was Aegeus' second wife, and she bore him a son named Medus. Medus was the heir-apparent to the throne prior to the re-emergence of Theseus. Medea immediately recognized Theseus and set to him the task of capturing the Marathonian Bull (previously the Cretan Bull - sire of the Minotaur by Pasiphae). She assumed the task would kill him, but instead, Theseus brought the bull back to be sacrificed. Fearing that Aegeus would make Theseus his heir rather than her own son, she attempted to poison him. But before Theseus could drink the poison, Aegeus recognized his own sandals and sword, hidden so many years before. Recognizing his son, he slapped the poison out of his hand and embraced him. Medea then fled Athens back to her homeland in Colchis, son in tow.
