None of my three kids slept through the night until they turned three. We've
had about three weeks so far of Evan not waking up every night, only once or
twice a week now. The girls were the same.
Everyone is different. Morgan has night terrors but they are rare.

To respond to the OP:
I am usually the one who forgets that I have twins. I sometimes wonder how
come everyone else seems to be doing it so much better, easier etc and then
I remember I have twins and try to cut myself some slack. As long as you
remember it's not so important others acknowledge it. I know it can be
frustrating when you don't always get the credit you think you deserve for
the hard work of having twins.
