Is this sentence correct

My mother objected, ineffectively, as mine was the stubbornness inherited from her.

Is everything ok here in terms of grammar?

Thank you.

It seems clumsy, Danny, and I question its grammatical logic. Perhaps something like this: My mother objected ineffectually: I inherited her stubbornness.

Thank you.
And sorry for posting, by accident, the same question twice.
